Phantom Wishes
This sadness under my feet
Flows like a sea of misshapen shadows
Filling the rippled cracks,
I walk on tiptoes.
Where do I go?
For I keep losing myself
In washed up thoughts,
Trapped echoes of this shell.
Closing my lids
Taking this world of pain,
On the threshold of perished dreams
I hear a thousand sobs, refrained.
Secrets choking
Digging up my withering soul-
Our world's too small for you,
And too big for mine alone.
Scattered stories spilling
In my world, across your universe,
Left-over imprints retracing,
Writing our love, in reverse.
Counting the burning stars
Let me wish until nothing's left
Drowning among them,
I hold my breath.
