Silence and rot


How long how long how long must I go on like this?
Writing these nights, typing my sleeplessness.

A heart full of ache and a body full of withdrawals,
This solitude, this silence feels like my downfall.

As I go on breathing the little I can,
I wonder more and more about your crimes.

The ones who call sexuality a necessity,
What do they do 13,000kms away with their virginity?

Off late the one thing that suffocates me the most,
Is how come it didn’t take long for a co-education to host,

Infidelity that somehow you thought so important,
To share with me when I was in a penance.

Over that there’s the corporate world,
One that can convince anyone to whore.

Where there’s power and money I know things that happen,
Don’t hesitate to get unethical and heathen.

They ring in my head all day,
The things I never thought you would say,

I don’t know how longer how longer how longer I can go on with this peaceless state.
For now I still rot in sleeplessness and suffocate.
