Isn't it queer how a mere *****
Can leave a bitter taste of
Pain and agony in your mouth
It is only when you've walked this road

That you realise that even the water
That runs from your eyes
When swallowed
Is salty and distasteful

Funny how the bible neglected the
parable of emptiness
Perhaps that is why
Your nights are coldest
When you are covered in thick blankets

You now despise the colour red
For it now reminds you
Of what your heart once was
Before loneliness coloured it black
Like the robes of a widowed woman

You have rejected the ocean
Because you know
That no matter how many layers of
makeup you may wear
You will never be as beautiful as her

It is as though happiness
Is a foreign language you yearn to
learn
Forgetting that even the most dificult
tutorial has its basics

Isn't it queer how a mere *****
Can beat for one last time
While you starting to familiarise
yourself with the scent of hope in the air

And then
Before you know it

It is the end of you
