City lights twinkling in the background
Rain pours down all around me
I walk barefoot through these streets
The honking of vehicles seems like blasphemy
My ears seem to have shut out the mad world's din
I allow the raindrops to pour down on my face
Mixing with the teardrops clinging on my eyelashes
My wet clothes sticking onto me like a second skin
My feet have started bleeding
Have I stepped on a shard of broken glass?
Why then is it that I can't feel the pain
The pain that I so desperately crave?
My heart beats like a caged bird in my rib case
A dull ache spreading all over my body
From my fingertips right down to my toes
It feels impossible to move forward, yet I must
I keep walking into the darkness of the night
Not knowing the destination
One foot after the other, step by step
That's all that I can muster for now
A delightful piece indeed, nice of you to share!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, K :) The journey is long and sometimes tough. But we have to keep moving forward, right?
