i lay on the cold marble floor,
numb and motionless.
melancholic music playing softly in my ears.
i gaze dreamily at the ephemeral aesthetics on the wall.
heavenly colours dance around,
mesmerizing the dead souls.
vivid void conquers my mind as memories fade away,
leaving behind fragments of emotions like broken strings of a harp.
i see the light exposing my vulnerabilities,
illuminated words appearing to be iridescent.
longing to kiss the crepuscular rays shining through the vanilla clouds.
an unloved heart bleeds for an affectionate embrace,
staining my paralyzed body draped in velvety sheets.
i try to fight the naked feelings of lamentation,
wishing to dwell in eternal euphoria.
your silhouette hovers in the air,
still eyes searching for you.
but alas, you're just a figment of my imagination.
as the darker stage of twilight falls,
painting the world black.
i continue living my world in delusion.
