Silent Shots

Have you ever felt those days when it’s dark?

The sun is up, the sky is blue, but all you see is grey?

Have you noticed those owls staring at your face?

Not caring if you walk, run, or pace.

                                  

Those days are just like the first day after death

When you are all alone in your tomb with no other breath,

You just feel the coldness of the nonsense

But you can’t object, since you don’t have the right to do so.

 

Have you ever felt that your heart just stopped beating?

When everyone around you is laughing, and you are just not caring

You feel like you are an outcast, or a phantom walking by

Wishing for someone, anyone, THE ONE to say hi!

 

You keep waiting on the sidewalk, looking through passengers’ eyes

And at some point, you start to realize that THE ONE is not coming by.

You go to the airport waiting for his plane to land on

You wait for too long, where everyone starts suspecting you are a pun.

 

And at the end of that day, you look around, speechless, wordless

Thinking so deep, looking into everyone’s eyes, but still speechless

Some eyes talk more than others, some say they are happy others not

But when you look into your eyes, you delve into the nowhere and find no spot.

 

You decide to wash your face and take a deep fresh air to breathe

But you feel like oxygen is your poison and nothing more than this.

You hold your phone for the first time at 12 am, and then here is the surprise

You find nothing, from no one, and then you realize that you are dead!

 

You try to wake up wishing it was one of those nightmares that are hitting you

Until you see THE ONE having his picture with his beloved

You throw your phone with all the power you have, and it breaks

And for the first time, you really wish you are dead.

Beyond words... Some days are better than others, eventually some days are worse that others.

Hope you like it.

yeah we all have those days that are just worse than others but ultimately life really is a rollercoaster ride well written Sue

I love your discernable metaphor, on how "the one" is compared to a bullet, as you're "shot" by signs of silence and indifference.

Your best ever poem Suhad, it has power, a darkness and mystery, it has grace and love lost, it is a complete work of art, so perfect, thank you :)

So heartfelt write with deep meaning and emotions. Beautiful penned friend.
I am agree with MsJewel, the heart does heal - although some cuts are deeper than others...
Hope all is going well.

I can relate to your words in that I have had those gray days...the sun may be shining and people are smiling and yet...the clouds find you...
Please know, it is a choice, the heart does heal - although some cuts are deeper than others...
May you find peace and understanding in time my sweet friend.
