In that room,
show me that painting, you said.
not now, i said.
you insisted.
no, love, i insisted back, not now.
things wouldn't be the same for you once you saw, i said.
why? you inquired.
you see the canvas lying over there, love?
thats not just an ordinary canvas,
they live there, my fears, like humans
their voices haunt me everytime i try burning them,
but why? you inquired again.
i replied,
the perfectly carved canvas that you see,
it has past traumas hidden,
the sharp edges that you see,
these are my scars engraved,
the feelings that you get while touching,
gives me an ache each time,
so,
i have signed a truce with them,
i won't burn them and they won't haunt me,
you still insisted.
i know, how to handle them, let me in, you said.
i know how to get you out of there, you said.
i will burn them and you won't feel a thing,
cuz' i will be there by your side,
you insisted again.
how could i say, no, this time?
i let you in,
And,
what did you do, oh angel of sorrow?
made me burn them with my bare hands, all alone?
what did you do, oh angel of sorrow?
made me face them, all alone?
what did you do, oh angel of sorrow?
let those fears haunt me down.
you lied to my face.
is that what you wanted?
is that what you...
is that what...
is that...
is...
