Untitled

When a woman's body
becomes darkness
Trapped by multiple bullets 
and heartbreaks 
Pieces of her broken mind get 
lost in a scattered field
She wears a mask of sorrows, 
Her eyes undesiringly releases droplets
of thick tears, 
The tiny walls of her heart wrestle 
into dilemma

When a woman's body 
becomes darkness
Her world rumbles like a 
wrecked ship
She fades away with the 
unseen moon
Smiles are no longer her usual 
vocabulary
Brokenness romances her 
smooth skin
Leaving her to have a conversation 
with death 

When a woman's body 
becomes darkness
It speaks in different tongues
Taste appears as sour, bitter 
and salty
Love becomes an evil person
Undressing her to public places
Her heart is dead, damaged 
and broken
