Performance poem

Departure

When you are within my reach

My soul is awake

       Alert

It feels, it breathes

 My mind tiptoes a step less dance

Of bliss

 But

once you leave

Blackened with grieve

Struck

With the blow of pain

 My minds’ dance falls motionless

 Breathless

 Darkness swallows everything I see

 My heart restricted by this cobra coming

From within

 My own personal burglar

Stealing my humility in the night

Damn you soul of mine, Damn your grievances

 You turn me into

What I

Myself never thought I could be

Bludgeoned by self pity

  My innocent heart takes it’s beating

I am witness to the crime

 But I am no whistleblower

   What I am

is weak.
