Slow Poison

(Praveen Vava)

About the helplessness and destitution felt when the candle of love has burnt out.

I’m standing naked here
you still will not look at me
I am not invisible
I will not cease to be even if you ignore
our love is gone
our future is dead for sure
but memories can’t be erased
I don’t know, I don’t know
why I care anymore.

You were my pride
you, you filled my ego
you brought me my dignity
I saw me through your eyes
now your eyes, they turn away from me
but I’m thankful, at least you don’t look out of pity.

I am homeless in my mansion
I am empty, I am lost
my heart is frost-bitten
sinking in your love’s frozen lake
I don’t know if it will ever thaw.

You can’t cry when it doesn’t hurt
you can’t cry when the pain and you have become one
I wish you had just put a bullet through my heart
instead of leaving me to die in this slow poison.
