A Letter To You

Every time I'm talking to you

I imagine the way you could appear to suit me through

Our arduous times together

And each time I feel disappointed like during a disastrous hurricane

Whilst little things connected with you

Are changing my entire point of view

As someone would drop a time bomb exactly in the highlight

Without leaving any survivors in that

Susceptible spot

Left alone

To cause viral aberrations in humans

Lopsided, lousy, and leper

And no turning back from that

Counterfeit carousel in the amusement park

Mirroring strangers on a train

And maybe also a murder case

Hidden behind the red curtain

Or swept under the grey carpet

Like I used to do

With my life around you

When you craved to lead your way

To the pitch-black corners of my private hell

Surrounded by coiled snakes

Examining my actions like blue and white stripes

From your T-shirts, sweatshirts, and pants

Resembling jester disguise

And judging us every time our paths

Intersect with their scythe-like

Maroon muddy roads

Practicing unusual kind of black magic

To feed us with it

To the core

if it doesn't come bursting out of you

in spite of everything,

don't do it.
