Nat

Nat

A Poem by Gargi

The sun is burning

But I will rise again from the ashes

And then you will know

Where this is meant to go

But the words will fall on deaf ears

And your blinded eyes

From what I emit

I will trace you down

And fix it straight

And make you think

About what went wrong

And that is what it was supposed to be

Rotting in the centre

Glowing on the outside

And it will be clear

When they won’t come

No one listens to a dead wolf

And you may fly away

But your boat will sink

The wings melting and filling you with holes

There’s no way to fix it

And nothing to fill it with

Your silence will kill you

And nowhere to go

And you won’t hear a thing

With all doors closed

The rusted locks

With the lost keys

Your destiny in my hands

And me on fire

What seems right

Will be all wrong

For you pay for my sins

And I am absolved

You killed the man

You trashed the song

Picking up the pieces

Will break you even more

 

The sleet on your face

And your feet on glass

Crashing against your body

And you will fall

But who will be there to pick you, my love?

The man you buried

Will not be found

The promises you made

Will thunder in your ears

You’ll look for a messiah

But you find no map

Sleepless and tired

You’ll look for mercy

But you held a wake

For the one you need

You thought so strong

But your feet faltered

Now that you can stand

There’s no ground

 

Nothing will make no sense

But weren’t you always smart?

Nothing can get you out of this

No resurrection now

You’ll look for the lost

And find a ghost

And it’ll spit on your face

And ask you to go

For that’s what you wanted

From everyone

But now, my dear, take a step

And try reaching for what you want

The doors are not there

Only doorknobs on the floor

The key you have

Will not work here

You’ll wander in empty space

But you’ll get no hope

Its all in your head

And still is false

 

And the sun will come up again

Blinding you with all the power

And it won’t be hazy anymore

And I will rise again and  turn to dust
