Melancholy Sings

By Nandhini Chithra

My life is the oceans of secrets,

It is filled with numerous regrets.

Counting on my aches and scars,

My heart is caged behind bars.

When lifeless feel made its call,

My solitude became my best pal.

My cries and screams are still,

Measuring the tears that are shrill.

I could feel my dying breath,

‘cause I'm lying in the bed of death.

I know I’ll be ashes in seconds,

Nev’r reclaim t’ life if any beckons.

Closing eyes, my memories bust,

Finally, I became the sand dust.
