Almost Lifeless

Wandering on the streets at night

Feeling the longing that's so tight

The cold air reminds me of my untold love

That until now, makes some days and nights of my life tough

I feel frozen with the thought of being unwanted

The coldness unleashed by nature

And the parts of my heart that suffer from numbness

Both seems effortlessly blended

Lights are guiding my way through somewhere

But the darkness within heart's periphery

Immerse my soul into the feeling of being lost

How I wish I could find words of hopefulness to incite the heart itself to close

Only to protect it from the weight of emotions

Caused by careless thinking of memories

There's a loudness in silence that's hard to tame

They are my inner voices with a sense of pessimism

So, who should be the one to blame?

Of pouring every pain that almost turn me into heartless

Myself? No I cannot

Truth be told, people's frailty, numerous trials

Both are sometimes enough to harden a heart

Staring at the genuine smile of others

Is weakening the mind, heart and soul

Feeling a sense of pity for dealing with jealousy

Suspended tears make my vision blurry

At this moment, aren't they feigning like me?

I wonder if others doubt my smile I give in return

Foolish thought. They're too busy to care about what I'm going through

I wonder if among the strangers,

At least there's one who could notice the vestige of my brokenness

Written somewhere in my eyes

They are full of stories that remain latent

Unless someone is pensive enough to make the tears come out

Maybe, those I get to encounter could hardly discern

My fragmentary heart through my facade

Am I the only lonely soul that's sauntering tonight?

If not, I should ask fate to bring me the one who resembles the secrets of my soul

Is that too much to ask for?

I hope it's not. For a soul like mine, deserves to meet someone whom I could be engrossed with

As I walk, brightness from the street lights

Slowly fading from my sight

Then I realize, I'm heading to a place where all illumination are turn off

It is like a sudden nightmare, to be in a real state of solitude

I can hear nothing from where I stand still yet, sheer stillness is terrifying

This setting may be nothing extraordinary for many

But for me, who's carrying a burden of being unloved

By someone I admire for so long

And of hurtful past experiences

This is surprisingly a great deal of melancholy

I fall onto the ground while crying my weary heart out

I'm making the loudest cry of my existence

In the midst of revealing myself to the uncrowded milieu,

Part of me is hoping for desired answers

Is there anyone trying to find where the cry comes from?

Is there anyone trying to ask universe for braveness to slowly glide beneath his/her skin, and to be intertwined with his/her nerves?

So, he/she could start running towards the dwelling of audible cry

As if he's/she's chasing the idea of love that's cursed to be felt forever

If caught, one would be a happiest creature

And so, he/she could express right away the need to please his/her unexpected strong desire to delve into my secretive soul

As if he/she wants to be pleased by listening to his/her sentiments too

Is there anyone approaching?

Because I can't resist the distressing truth that I'm waiting

For anyone to somehow wake my asleep positivism within

To inspire me more to start the desired mending

Or

Would I witness another dawn by myself and face the day still feeling the wounds of heart bleeding?
