The Wanderers
The world full of surprise
That you survived
Even as your life seems bruised
We watch as if it is a play
A savage record of dramatic chaos
Plunging us deeper into the abyss
That is but a chamber in your heart
Shrouded in mystery
We are both wanderers
Nomads on the emotional landscape
Peace will only come with death
If at all
I once took you by the hand
And stared deeply into your eyes
I was left speechless
Time stopped
You march on with a strength that is fathomless
A running paradox of perseverance and self-destruction
People forget about your pain
But I remember
I do not know where it will end
Transfixed by the blood on your dress
We will have to wait and see
Like the rest of the world
That you survived
Even as your life seems bruised
We watch as if it is a play
A savage record of dramatic chaos
Plunging us deeper into the abyss
That is but a chamber in your heart
Shrouded in mystery
We are both wanderers
Nomads on the emotional landscape
Peace will only come with death
If at all
I once took you by the hand
And stared deeply into your eyes
I was left speechless
Time stopped
You march on with a strength that is fathomless
A running paradox of perseverance and self-destruction
People forget about your pain
But I remember
I do not know where it will end
Transfixed by the blood on your dress
We will have to wait and see
Like the rest of the world
