UNHOPEFUL ELEGY

 

Us in a stygian snowstorm 

Where emotion can only be wrong 

But feelings are all I want 

So I write this unhopeful elegy


Where no reflecting mechanism worked 

In my mind where our trauma lurked 

The unspeakable screams that were never heard 

While I sat and wrote an unhopeful elegy


No more did there exist any use 

Of my tears, I misplaced everything left to lose 

Where I lose my one and beloved muse

 I could only design an unhopeful elegy


Where no almirah was for me to hide 

No shield was anything but a lie 

Where they told me the daylight died 

The only thing alive was an unhopeful elegy
