Slept thro’ the days and wept thro’ the nights,

Sought wisdom from a few undefeated knights,

Leaped thro’ many dreams, did you hear the screams?

Wasn’t aware I’d get caught in one

Turned out to be the worst nightmare!

If you’d ask now, I couldn’t care,

But it was insane; allow me to explain.

So consumed by cherubic innocence and beauty,

Lost my profundity,

With the world suddenly becoming two dimensional,

Failed to realize that suffering was optional,

Her feelings were never real but virtual,

Spite of the grotesque gorgeousness,

Blinded with the thought of grasping divine,

I decided to trade a valuable station,

Immaturity for sublime!

Only to bring me down,

I caved and dug my own grave.

Sanctity of my life got trivialized,

Think of it, I realized,

I lived with no color but gray of all shades,

Only to haunt me till my memory fades.

In the cobbled streets of my mind braided with topiaries,

I tried to savor those paltry moments,

Compassion with superfluous narcissism,

With the slightest of compunction,

but a subtle conciliatory tone of guilt,

Fear, tears and self-loathing on an infinite loop

Where the message never got through,

The melodrama seemed so magical

aha, how illogical?

A confused xeric soul in distress,

I can only wish and bless.

I wasn’t sure before,

But now I know; I will never obtain closure.

I snapped out of the dream, within a dream?

A blaze of light with a conjuring voice embraced me,

“I came to save you, your disheartened soul”, she said as I smelt her gleaming aura,

“Will you stay to heal me?” I asked,

What do you think? She replied.
