Letters To Nowhere I
A poetry describing the last days of a schizophreniac.
Typewriters click and emotions burst,
I don’t know which love portion will quench my thirst,
In an empty packet on my night table, there is a strand of your hair,
I’m sure that the front of your home is stacked with letters to nowhere.
Day in Day out, I type my soul’s chants,
Those hymns praising you and how your voice enchants.
But only I hear those sweet sounds that are immersed in air,
Your voice echoes through my heart, as I write letters to nowhere.
The mirage of your face shines in the mirror beside me,
The glimmer of your eyes illuminates everything that I see.
The sun rays that scatter in this dusty air, aren’t as bright as your skin so fair,
I reminisce about our days together, as I write these letters to nowhere.
The memories I have made with you, in an invisible pile they are stacked,
Why couldn’t we be together forever? What was it that I lacked?
I wanted I hate you though I couldn’t dare -
Do you realise, that I’m writing you these letters to nowhere?
My mother was terrified of the way I behaved,
Father couldn’t believe that it was you, who I craved,
Though the drops of my fallen tears can be seen no more,
I still write these letters to you, evermore.
They said that you never existed here,
They claimed that you were to be found nowhere,
That you are a fragment of my mind, I’d never believe that!
I’ve spent eons searching for where you could be at.
They told me to take my pills so that I could forget you,
As if that’s something I’d ever do.
My eternal longing for you keeps me plague-bound,
There are days when I wonder if you’ll ever be found.
But your memories keep me locked here,
I stare at the cracked ceiling sometimes,
Thinking of what to write to you, in my letters to nowhere.
