Irk and Smirk

The scattering scenes flashed,

Of all the dreams that were crashed,

Pictured all the moments that were snatched.





Brusque was the butchering,

The pieces failed to be put together even after lot of panicking.

The catastrophic past still remains the reason,

For eyes becoming moist, heart and soul crying in unison.





The trauma still speaks out aloud,

With some impromptu occurrences still rendering me speechless,

When I'm left with something that remains unseen to the crowd.

The memories mar my mind, with convulsions making me senseless.





The betrayal had such an impact on the mind,

Insecurity and fear were available in every kind.





Rebuilding the world with a bond and a lifeline called hope,

Triumphal phoenix rose, trying to cope.

The first flush of exultation was actually a paradox,

To rise and live again was taught by a coax.





Attachment and emotions were put on a trial,

Who knew that the euphoria was to last only for a while.

The sheer stab on trust and it was all over.

The eyes again became moist which once used to rover.





Thinking and wondering, I began to hum and haw,

Because present painted the same fresco what in past I saw.

Leave behind the clutches and live with no strings attached,

You own no one, put it in your mind scratched!
