Huddled on the rooftop, on a rusty chair
I sit, embraced by the lights from dim homes
Above the bustling streets, car horns, and blurry faces
I am in search of my own.Sunset barely clings to the somber skies
Somewhere in the horizon, a hint of nightfall blends in,
Yet, I linger, alone, in a crowd I can't keep up with
A stranger among strangers, an echo of ripples unseen.From afar, a woman holds a translucent umbrella
Shading herself from the touch of rain, falling,
Searching the settling dusk, I couldn't tell apart
The overcast skies from the shadows overhangingAbove, below, in between, and everything, around me
Washing out the sound of inaudible voices, overcrowded streets,
As traces of warmth slip away, I tremble, still in search
Down the pool of puddle sinking beneath my feet,Among the reflections, distorted
Shades of reality,
And they get deeper, much deeper
Lost inside of me.
