Life Fragments
Life fragments are like a blue lake in the dusk
Memories wander like scattered confetti in the twilight
Loneliness and disillusion flourish with time
Despair brings resignation to life
And nightmares lavish their attention on me
Fractures mutilated my old self
Relics of myself are buried in the abyss
Few memories of life fragments emerge from the oblivion
The crooked dream of an ideality ceases soon
Pains and sorrows drift away from me
I run away from my desires
I hold my breath, and I drown myself in the dumbness
I become unconscious, pretending to be alive
Lying to myself is the only way I can protect myself
Becoming ethereal like a petal
I float in my dreams
Hoping I never wake up again
I become an illusion.
