BROKEN SUN

The sky sickly shade of broken sun
Reminds of spilled memories of love sour
As if it is full of shackles settled in the heart of men
Over the burning desire of a woman’s emotion
Leafless trees shattered by the winds grew teeth

Tossed into obscureness of the heart
Walls could not stand the cold invaded hand of time
Mercy got no alibi to justify such ungrateful act
It was crawling forever like my worst winter

Of all I have been through over shredded years
The kind of life I seek is resilience to betrayal
With no surname to her past
All I have left is nightmare of the embrace

The black streets overshadowing the city
Houses fading into the night like stars falling from the sky
Lights, lamps cannot illuminate these feelings I wear
I lie in obliviousness staring at the deserted evening

I climbed to the rooftop and stare deep into the sky
Flagging my thoughts yet with empty eyes
Wrapping every little strength deprived of happiness
Bared a wooden pride, while deathly winds takes away this misery
