These vibrant walls
Are no longer painted with elation
This unstable roof
No longer offers me protection
But rather inflicts pain
Unbearable to the heart
And leaving the soul
Arid and debilitating
Your picture taunts men
Haunts me with its lifeless eyes
Observing men
Glaring at me with disappointment
I become powerless
As they pierce me
Like too sharp daggers
Drenched in your complacency
You have departed
What seems to be eons ago
But why do I
Incredulously find myself revulsive?
Why do I
Vociferously argue with myself?
Why does my shadow frighten me?
And why
Does this silence volubly echo
Through deserted hallways...?
