Untitled
When a woman's body
becomes darkness
Trapped by multiple bullets
and heartbreaks
Pieces of her broken mind get
lost in a scattered field
She wears a mask of sorrows,
Her eyes undesiringly releases droplets
of thick tears,
The tiny walls of her heart wrestle
into dilemma
When a woman's body
becomes darkness
Her world rumbles like a
wrecked ship
She fades away with the
unseen moon
Smiles are no longer her usual
vocabulary
Brokenness romances her
smooth skin
Leaving her to have a conversation
with death
When a woman's body
becomes darkness
It speaks in different tongues
Taste appears as sour, bitter
and salty
Love becomes an evil person
Undressing her to public places
Her heart is dead, damaged
and broken
