Stagnant...

When colours fade away...

Like the sound of a horse's gallop...

Distant... invisible... inaudible.

I hear you still

Inside my heart

As my own heartbeat.

But you want to leave...

Like the breath that leaves

My heart and vanishes in thin air.

And so I open up my hands

To let your fingers slip away...

Stagnant water I am...

And you a ship. 

And...

I cannot be your harbour.

An empty heart...

I broke the glass of words today...

In the room filled with silence...

It shattered on the floor crushing away...

Some voices, some dreams I say...

On the floor, I see some tears...

Weeping away the words you spoke...

Some anger burning my words...

May be they are now free to smoke...

Some giggles like ripples...

Rise above like invisible...

Some whispers, tremble...

Echoing to fade forever...

Some moments as if quiet...

See me and my plight...

I kneel on my knees...

Wiping the dust I see...

Simple glass was this...

Was once full of dreams...

Now lay shattered pieces...

Nothing left but an empty heart...
