Today you seem to me obscure.
I've searched every jar, every drawer
where I kept fractions of my memory
and I have found you unrecognizable
like a barren reflection of my face in a water pot.
Where is your heart?
Have you traded love for emptiness?
Have you forgotten how to feel?
Ah, today your eyes look like an eclipse
of lightening on dark matter;
emotionless, painless yet hurt.
For even the vicious of animals can show empathy,
So tell me why your heart is monochrome
And the hue;
faded.
