Nothing changed overnight. The signs were always there but we chose to ignore them.
We choose to believe everything is as it is.
We choose to live in denials.
We refuse to accept what we see.
We refuse to accept what we feel.
Deep down in the heart, all of us knew what was going to happen but when it happened, why this subconsciously prepared heart has shattered?
Why the ache is so much to absorb?
Why the eyes are shedding blood and not tears?
Why this numbness?
Why this anxiety?
Why this emptiness?
Why is it difficult to sleep?
Why do we need to drag ourselves to even get up from the bed?
Why everything has lost its attraction?
Why are we annoyed in the crowd?
Why our favourite food has lost its taste?
Why we stopped going out?
Why have we confined ourselves to that unseen corner of the house?
Why that face in the mirror has lost its smile?
Is it just a smile or the soul has simply left this body to survive like a living dead?
Why do we feel hopeless when there are no promises?
Are we opening our eyes to the darkness, when those doors of brightness are now closed on us?
