Misty Existence
Was it ever really there?
She disappears with the mist.
When she calls out, no one hears.
Did she ever exist?
.
Invisible to the world, her cheeks were kissed
Not by loving lips but with wet tears.
She disappears with the mist.
.
Connections always ended up missed
Amongst both strangers and her peers.
Did she ever exist?
.
I’m here for a reason, her mind used to insist—
A lie she tried hard to believe for so many years.
She disappears with the mist.
.
But she decided one day there’s no reason to persist
As every reason to stay eventually disappears
Did she ever exist?
.
No, I will matter one day! - a last feeble attempt to resist
But inevitably, trapped by one of her biggest fears,
She disappears with the mist.
Did she ever exist?
