Midas Touch
There is a wave of sadness in my eyes. Deep-profound- unsettling! There is a wave of sadness in my eyes that I cannot hide. A stormy delight- That forgot the shore, And, the old uproar, Quietly forming beneath my chest to explode in ache. My heart is drowned in the unspoken words that I never said before. People call it silence, But, I call it resilience. Because, silence has never been this loud that would awake them. Everybody in the town knows my secret. They can see the silent pain that I bear in my eyes, Through my glances they can rejoice the suffering I try to hide from them. Everybody can see through me- my losses. It walks past me like a shadow in the crowded rooms, A lonely one hiding behind the broader smile. I carry a whole ocean and continent in my chest, As if they were meant to be diversified. Solidified memories swim in the ocean with salted taste, Bitter yet necessary to remember not to get attached- To the same pain again....
