Ambiguous Souls

It's like a clock ticking,

your ability to vanish.

Your mind sets me apart,

faster than any knife could.

It's like your fingers,

have painted a map.

You know where my

heart lays and yet,

your heart does not beat. 

Why?

Haven't I shown you enough?

Tight dresses and perfect words,

your eyes remain fixed elsewhere.

Amourous gestures, biting lips,

You reject me purposefully.

My heart is greying, 

Tearing itself apart-

Every move, every deceptive

word and my world brightens.

I tell myself to stop and yet,

I can't.

They asked me why I had fallen.

Why I had simply given up.

I never respond, for a simple tear

tells its origin.
