Do I still know you,
Are you the one I once believed in?
The one I trusted,
The one I called my own?
Why are you no longer you?
Why have you turned into a stranger?
That little nest we built together,
Alas, it’s no longer home.
The thread of words
That once bound you and me,
Now speaks only silence,
Echoing what used to be.
Was it my mistake?
Did I make some unknown sin?
I couldn’t understand —
You tell me, this foolish heart within.
Enough now!
This game of breathing,
A life so tangled,
With emotions forever misfitting.
Yes, this heart still beats,
But in rhythm with death’s soft knock,
These breaths still flow,
But in prayer to finally stop.
