Agony
Tell me words, words of pain
Of broken abandoned lanes
Dreams you dreamt
In the cover of night
Have you lost all that
Ever made you bright?
Do you whimper from wounds
That never heal?
Do you also swallow taunts
At every meal?
Do you eyes swell
from tears?
Has it ever become
Too much to bear?
I want to hear your
Bitter laughs and broken smiles
So let me stay
for some more while
as you stand beneath the
burden of skies
trying to survive
one of a thousand lives.
