Limbo

Deserted mind

By Harydo NeonPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I stare in the mirror, seeing the depth of my tears

See the bareness, see the armour dented

This inclouding fear has never worried me

This, this feeling of vulnerability

I didn't ask for this, not in my wildest daydream

I never wanted to be someone's princess

But somehow you came along and I was yours

Now I stare at nothingness saying " Well isn't that-blank-up"

Three is known to be a lucky number

Put into months and it explains my emotionless slumber

As a warrior I am alert at red flags

Yours I never saw, even though it was obviously flagged

Hanging by the telephone, waiting for your call

You were in the wrong but somehow I drank the guilt tea

Reaching my hands to take yours

But every time, you dematerialize

Am not asking for your love, that was a lie

Am asking for an answer, a worthy reply

I clipped my wings,

Lost my armour

Soaked my pillows

Looking at my mirror, a girl lost in a limbo

Drying my tears, make-up on

Ridding my phone of break-up songs

I wish I may

I wish I might

Wait a minute, What's your name again?
