Debris

I have been broken for so long,

That I have forgotten what it is to be whole.

For ages, to you I have belonged,

That I fail to divorce a body from its soul...

Tinted, for long has been the vision,

That a clear lens doesn’t appeal anymore.

Battered, I have been by the raging storm,

Yet, it does not feel home to be ashore.

Have sought a meaning in turbulence and harbour,

That now in chaos I find my sanity,

Have chased you for long, to free me of my nothingness,

That I see wholesomeness in our own debris...

And now, a silence bellows from the abyss within

And dry are the tears that once kissed the kohl…

True,I have been broken for so long,

That I have forgotten what it is to be whole.
