My Loss — Photo: vi.isualize.us

My reflection appears broken in the mirror for so long My soul left my body for a place so cold Shattered promises, to be with you till am gray and old Alone with a pen, a scroll and a slate Never will you be back Feelings of mine will always wait In shreds I stumbled into reality My Lord is it Karma or Redemption? May be her story was never meant to be? Words of mine I kept In my heart, on a page, only a breath left I write, now that you are gone Illusions of progress, headed towards the sun Slowly I walk away from myself Visions of you, like a mirage Your picture was never true In pains, this is my day Seven Staring at my past Watching my Borrowed Heaven
