Orphaned From the Worlds I Knew
Orphaned from the worlds I knew
My abandoned gods!!!
I fear to love through eyes
my heart has only known darkness
The despise, the reasons I never knew
the chirping dark alley ways
put a fear of loneliness
prayed never to lose anyone, day and night
Only grew to be stranger,
only afraid to ever to love through eyes.
Now my mouth has gone dry,
words have vanished and vaporised in fires.
My abandoned gods are these
what you need for your gurudakshina,
for life lessons accepting through pyres
My heart in loneliness
my heart deep in thought
my heart's blood through veins
flickered the thumb
fearing what fate had more to stain on life
disdained, despised, disturbed I remain
retreated to my silence taught in my mother's womb
wish I have never seen the world
wish I have never known a word
wish I have never uttered a sound
nowhere; I am beaten
now here with stockholm syndrome for the hate,
out from the universe.
