I just remembered this poem I wrote almost three years ago. I just want to put it here
VELVET TEARS

I've come back
My body's still the same
But my soul's transformed.
In a sphere of daggers
A lightning pierced my heart,
Took it away,
Hanged it directly above.
I never did see it there
I only felt the blood,
Bathing me
Quenching the thirst of my dried mouth.
I've come back
Yet you don't even remember me
Don't you recognize?
Don't you see the same body?
Don't you see the same eyes?
Don't you feel my being?
How clueless can you be?
Now save your soul
Because you don't see anymore
The fear in my eyes
The trembling in my pleading lips.
My song's gone
Replace it with yours.
Your most soothing song.
Soothing shall it be?
No.
But a hollow melody, a stray cry.
Look at me
And fear my blazing eyes
For you cannot drop a single tear
Not with me
Not this time.
Your turn to sing has come.
Your pleas are not welcome
My ears deaf
My eyes dark, denied of emotions
My skin numb of any feeling
My lips sealed in silence
My soul unreceptive.
A long time ago
My velvet tears had dried.
