I asked for a piece of mind
You give trouble
Finding faults on every part of me
Crisis leading to full blown battles
Is this any semblance of love?
Or devil lust?
I seek peace
You give blood
Pain equalizing the suffering
All these you give freely
Leaving me dry to the bones
Empty without an outlet
Garden ridden with thorns
My skin stuck, red dripping
My hunger never filled
Rumblings and enzyme ruptures
You promised bliss
All I see is turbulence
Freedom, blocked by denial
That leap refusing my feet
My legs week from trekking
Roundabouts, circulating
Heart pumping out loud
Mind docile,
I sense mouse
Instincts missing
Will lacking
Energy depleted
Air snuffed
All I have is:
the curse and gift of loving
Both penned down onto my soul
