The walls of my room no longer speak to me
The walls of my room no longer speak to me,
Since I stopped painting them with my blood.
Once, they were alive with the pulse of my essence,
Each stroke a testament to the silent screams within,
A canvas of raw emotions, where my soul unveiled itself.
In the quiet of the night, when the world slept,
I poured myself onto these walls, a scarlet wallpaper,
A dialogue between my inner turmoil and the silent witnesses,
The room, a sanctuary and a prison, held the echoes of my pain.
Now, the walls stand mute, cold and indifferent,
Their once vibrant stories faded into a haunting silence,
The blood that once flowed fervently now lies dormant,
Leaving behind a void, an emptiness that swallows sound.
I wander through these halls, a ghost in my own life,
Seeking the voice that once spoke through the walls,
But all I find is the painful memory of my retreat,
A heart that has grown weary, a soul that has ceased to bleed.
The room, once a living entity, now just a shell,
Holds the memories of a time when pain was my muse,
When every drop of blood was a verse in my tragic poem,
And the walls were the pages where my story was told.
But in this silence, I find another kind of sorrow,
A melancholic acceptance of the void left behind,
The magic of my suffering now a distant echo,
A reminder that even pain, in its intensity, can fade.
So I stand in this room, with its silent walls,
Reflecting on the passage of time and the quiet within,
Knowing that the voice of my past will not return,
But finding a strange peace in the silence,
A melancholic magic in the absence of my blood's song.
