Unwanted Souls
Step by step I saw myself
sliding downhill into a world
of plunging painful gloom
An emptiness I feel till today
My torch bearers of joy
took away the light of my soul
leaving me in watery blindness till
I drifted into a world of nothingness
Softly I treaded towards them
a cold shoulder I was given
Breaking the icicles of silence
became a dilemma leading to
many more crippling silences
No intimacy between sea and shore
but unexpected unbreakable rocky piers
rose to cut sharply the bond of love
The ship of love stopped sailing
its rudder ruthlessly got stuck in
salty sand getting choked
Unwanted souls roam
like the breathing dead
impoverished of being wanted
I know what it is to be murdered
I died a death a cruel death once
