Infinite ends

Infinite ends, goodbyes, betrayal
Infinite pain, sadness, lonesomeness
I glance back with rosy romantic vision
At the years that passed me by
Beneath the humid Mumbai sky

I know not the source of this rhyme
It’s no song, it’s no mime
It’s a weary, sad glance back at all I didn’t see
Another regret within breaks free

A grim glance at all I have passed through
A sad look at my foolishness all through
And I pass again into the void
Another chaotic robot, droid

Something cuts me apart from its shadow-hands again
It’s my old alter-ego, my silence
My child, inner violence

And I scream into the blank space again
And no one can listen from the emptiness
Maybe if I died, maybe if I cried
It would hurt a little less

I loved a face, I hated disgrace
I hate the bullshit, the fake
I put my sense at stake
And bit into the poisoned cake

Swirling, snivelling, soft-no-longer
The harsh lines etched in dark silence draw into light
She holds my hand again, the lonely god
The game of desires
A burning, gently burning rod.
