My State Of Mind

 

Wednesday, 27 April 2005

Home
candle in the storm
With no destiny
Self imposed blindness
The rude Kilometre
In the darkness of the night
In the grave of my mind
Always bright
Cold Truth
Second Wife
Drunkards

 

SELF IMPOSED BLINDNESS

 

My shirt was clinging to my body

Like it was a second skin

The cold was starting

To get into my body

Yet I stood there patiently

Waiting for her to show up

 

Standing by her window

She signaled me

That it was cold and raining

Like I didn't know

Her sister joined her

And they started laughing at me.

 

As I went back home

I started to reflect

That my love was misplaced

My love was never returned

Yet I kept on knocking and looking

At the locked door.

 

Regardless of the eye opener

I never realised

That I didn't only fell in love

But I crushed into love

And lost everything I had

Including my pride and myself.
