Where is the girl that felt too much?
Where are the oceans of tears and medleys of emotions?
Can you tell? At least I can't.
She was way too generous with her confidences
as she thought she could share the grief.
After all, you just have to
divide the value with its equivalent
to cancel it and get 1, right?
She was left with 1, indeed
as she was the one that was left alone
wondering where they went.
They must've flown away with the breeze of apathy
or maybe they swam away in the river of changes,
to another part of this world.
Or perhaps thay walked away before dawn came
to expand their horizons.
Whatever mode of transport they used, they surely got lost
and she can't find them, at all.
Verses feel empty, just like her heart
as all feelings have gone astray.
They were likely overburdened
by this measly creature
that counted on them, a bit excessively.
She clutched on them so tightly
that they started to suffocate.
One quiet night, as she slept
they sneaked out, never to come back
and wandered so much and so far away
that they are nowhere to be seen.
The next day, she woke up at the crack of dawn
and was greeted by desolation
holding out its arms, so invitingly, asking her to follow it.
She felt so hollow and clueless
that she gave herself no choice
other than grabbing its wrists
and letting it lead her towards nothingness.
Now there she sits, with a face so blank
it doesn't even recognize loved ones.
She remembers absolutely nothing of her past.
Doesn't know who ran away
or why they ran away.
She is a stature of drab perfection.
A porcelain doll with a straight face
adorned with a rehearsed smile made out of plastic.
Perfect! So terrifyingly perfect to spectators
watching every coordinated move
of this porcelain doll.
There are no more delinquent feelings
standing in the way of her
'perfection.'

Slightly darker than the usual stuff. What do you think of it?
