solitude's child

when shall i stop feeling

alone

i am tired! of this anguish

i have lost

the strength to fight, I

want some rest, please

now...

ignore my sobs, as i

speak in codes thru breaths

i grasp

do not hold me

even when my will breaks

into wails

of prayers, pathetically sung

in an empty mosque

that sometime ago i built

with my lies

i cannot forever cry

the silence that resounds

within my soul, shatters

what remains

of hope i hid from

my saline tears

and the walls that shield

my despair

from your inquisitive eyes

fall, brick by brick

as promises are hurled

at my stoic stance

but they come, and go

as tides to a shore, leaving

some, taking what's mine

then comes the moon

grinning at fate, its glow

taunts the shadows

that your light squandered

with the setting sun

last night i dreamt

i was alone

i was singing, and dancing

and whirling to a trance

i was not happy, neither

was i sad

i was alone, and i dreamt

let solitude adopt me

call me its child..
