Why is my heart so silent, tonight

Coz I have emptied all my emotions

As I sit by the window of life

Ruminating over the years

Yearning for love

And passionate touch

But all that I experienced was

Facade of feelings

From each soul I came across

Was I not enough, I questioned myself

Why can't people accept my being

Am I lacking

The answers were haunting

It wasn't me

It was them

Their duplicity

In the garb of love

Just to have a piece of flesh of me

Gradually I embraced solitude realising

No one was worthy enough

The silence within echoes

My heart is racing

But I can't hear the beats

Something in me has died.
