Death Of The Senses

Blinded by pride, you failed to see

My tortured soul, as it writhed in agony

Reeling from the wounds you inflicted upon me

The pain I felt tormented me, unceasingly.

But now, I have been numbed by your indifference

Your cruelty has led to an unexpected deliverance

Who could have known, that death of the heart would bring?

That when it stops beating, the heart is finally at peace?

How these eyes have wept before

For now they can weep no more

Where once they sparkled with life and gaiety

They now stare into space, void and empty.

My ears have been deafened, they no longer hear

The whimsical melody of laughter and cheer

The sound of silence, so frighteningly loud

Drowns out the noise of merriment emanating from the crowd.

These lips of mine shall no longer sing

Songs of the seasons; summer and spring

Sealed forever, they shall never again speak

Of the joys of life that everyone seeks.

My heart lies buried in a dark and unyielding grave

No longer does it feel apprehensive or afraid

Nay, devoid of any emotion it lies silently

In stillness and in quiet revelry.
