Hiraeth




Experiencing a death while being alive 
Cuffed, caged yet struggling to survive 

Holding onto smile that no longer stays 
May worn out shoes find some ways

Applying winged eyeliner on shimmery eyes
Will I ever make to the tale of Rise? 

I am nursing all the burns and scars 
Waiting for the light to enter so they spark like stars 

Faith was a crystal that’s shattered now 
Standing on its crumbs for long anyhow 

Heart has been pumping only the blood 
Am I drowning in numbing flood? 

All are faces but no single soul I find around  
So Verdict has been passed to remain room-bound 

Hope is the rainbow and expectations are needles 
One fades away and other makes me feeble

Fire is all, I am left with inside 
Evaporating the water letting life hide 

Because earth is small to bear my existence 
Universe is vast so let’s break the resistance 

Platter is empty, let’s fill it with galaxy 
Swallow it whole before getting struck with fallacy!
