When you hold me against my will
Desperation
Each time you turn my no into yes
Desperation
The black and blue eye that you give me
One that I hide carefully behind makeup
Desperation
Tied to you eternally by invisible chains
That you lock me with and throw away the key
Desperation
Deafening silence greets me day and night, stifling my thoughts
Sophistication I don, a charming smile on my face
Glossy lips, lustrous hair, a svelte figure
They look at me in envy; she has it all
They don't see the pain behind my smile
The scars on my soul, the bruises on my body
My silence is my armor, the words I form are mute on my lips
I want to scream my lungs out, but you know that I won't
For I will always belong to you
Just like another one of your possessions
Sometimes I curse myself, for it's my desperation too...
Desperation very well described. Chilling at places, but it conveys what the Heart feels like in such situations. Good poetry.God bless you, Aathira, this was a good piece.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got what I meant to say.. Thanks so much for your prompt comments as always, Mr Parsa :)
DeleteSo cold and poignant! All of us are victims of desperation at one point of time or the other. :/
ReplyDeleteOh yes. But such is life :(
DeleteVery deep! There is so much that we do out of desperation.
