Vanished Face

Can you see me even across this darkness?

Too proud for any compassion,

Too separate for love,

Aloof and serene and lonely

Intent on ways apart...

Then why, oh why

Do you question my heart?

My heart despises its station

Too human, hence cursed,

How do I disclose

The pulse that gave me wings?

From shadows I departed

Towards shadows again did it bring.

All is gone

But does it matter?

This world like a glass must shatter.

The doom lies on the human race

What of one more vanished face?

~Neera~
