Words

My words meant nothing
explained nothing
convinced nobody
scrutinized again and again
with an aching pain in the heart
moist eyes hidden with indifference
wearing layers of faces
only to hide the real
now unable to find the one
and searching for ways to express
words weren't enough
and so was the promise
reaching sky was the goal
but falling into depths
the depth's where nobody's there
and to feel nothing
Favorite melody in the background
failed to recognize
now words cannot convince me
and no more to give hope
falling deep under the shadows
can't scream for help
existing between empty faces
fear engulfing the soul
tearing at brink time after time
which I fixed with patience and hope
tried enough to stand firm
to stand with words of my own
but words meant nothing
neither does my existence
fading away with dust of time
trying to fix back the pieces
Alas! now tired enough to try.
