Effigy

I’m an effigy

That you don’t see

Through the blinds

Of another kind

of emotion

and this notion

of when I see his eyes

That passes me by

I sing a song

Of my lifelong

Tears cut and broken

I’m just forgotten

presently an image in the water,

I only seem to fade

like a disregarded effigy.

How can it be,

That the water deep and cold

can hold a little effigy like me,

lost in pain?
