Acquaintances become friends, As I look around myself, self-centrism being the reason, I find all the “things” to be prim and proper. Feelings have become valueless, The air is fresh and so is the aura. and have dissipated recognition. The environment vociferates with the sounds of living, Such forces of the dark burden my soul. All I hear is nothing – black silence. and make me insubstantial. All I see is nothing – black silence. People come and people go, unnoticed, they talk, because I am a factotum for them. People are born and people will die, The selfish world lambasts my bruised soul, time will continue its work, unstoppable. unbothered, unconcerned for, a friend of convenience. I recapitulate to walk this road of loneliness and pathos. All I speak is nothing – black silence. Broken pieces of glasses, disseminated on my way, keep tearing me apart. The divinity of love, as if, has vanished. All I need is nothing – but a friend, People love, they leave and walk away. who can break this black silence. G T
