Forgotten

by Diehsarr

You are beautiful

Heart made of stone

Skin warm from the veins that run beneath

Eyes piercing, unable to see what can’t possibly be

Feet soft yet weary from eternities spent

Hands learnt, able to feel, to touch, to caress

Yet nails coaxed sharp, waiting in fear

Your glances are short

Somehow longing without a stare.

Your hair it flows, it flows

Like the river you weep

That runs forever (and ever)

Turns frozen beneath your feet.

Yeah centuries pass, they come and they go

The world outside, to you is unknown.

It presses and presses, the weight of your mind

The ice at your back is cold, divine

You think somehow, bitter in there

That this is your damnation, searching, always seeking up there

But if ever, those pretty eyelashes you’d allow to come apart

You would be able to see the fog of breath on glass

And peering downwards, wiping it away

Find all that you thought had led you astray.

You die; oh you die a million times

A million times, inside yourself.

It’s funny how at one point I couldn’t appreciate poetry.
