Numb

Noted Nest

By Shreyasi Kaushik


Can't you feel  ? 

Is your smile honest , or just another veil 

your laugh feels different 

and face seems pale 

Didn't you use to be pretty? What a shame 

now it's all rotten,and corrupt 

Silent or rather silenced? wailing ! 

Waiting to erupt 

What a waste of tears, are they frozen! 

Impatient growling in the gut 

lips parted dry , face lit blue , 

Poisoned is your soul 

They say you laugh , is it true ? 

eyes darker than coal 

Pain is a giggle, what a terror 

Are the hollow heart's dreams sleeping 

awake are you, do u still have the valor ?

Hands shivering underneath the quilt 

Hair tangled, like loose strands 

blood boiling still with all the guilt 

Where's your armor girl ?

Did you lose it within your crippling self? 

Its grim and gray, But to the Lord we pray 

When i see you on the other side, 

Promise me !

Your eyes must twinkle,

Smile forming a wrinkle 

The sun's peeking now, 

What an alluring dream !
