Breathless moments, I lived
Endless days, I survived
Restless nights, I settled
With some hope to know me better.
My tears trickled, my screams stifled,
My mind naked, my face pressed.
I tell my secrets, both new and old,
Without any fret, you’re the one to be told.
The trust in you, that I behold...
For you know me better than myself.
The fear I endure, the pain I bear,
The secrets I whisper in your ear.
Lifting my head to see,
The darkness swallowing me.
My silent screams engulf thee...
For you know me better than myself.
The tears I shed, oceans they’d fill,
The nightmares I had, the refuge I seek,
In my wet pillow
If only you could talk,
You would describe me well...

ReplyDeleteI found it very sad and emotional
Deleteawwwww - poor little rat nibbles
ReplyDeleteAw! It's so endearing! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is an internal conversation - often there in our minds there is a side which knows us and a side which wants to know...maybe i felt that here (also love the hamster photo - am a rat mummy myself ;)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a calling for help.. to be rescued from evil.. from darkness.. perhaps a heart to heart conversation.. or a confession to God for guidance.. no matter how you interpret it.. it evokes so much passion. Its incredible!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Sanaa
