HELPLESS

 

“dream but don’t wake” the voice says 

“drown in your sleep and choke” it advice

“a worthless and helpless soul”

“you are alone always, sleep peacefully eternally”

the only voice that comes to my aid 

converses with me in my state 

as I soliloquies in my solitude 

my helpless state needs a buddy 

“less words, more actions” it cajoles 

“just yield to my words and switch off”

“I have always been here for you when everyone left”

“remember we’ve cried and laugh in melancholy”

in dire need of hope but she’s gone 

nostalgia overwhelms my souls in flickers 

my pupils has started to dilate 

my heart perforated as I hemorrhage the strength left 

the little strength left is my tears 

I’ve emptied my soul and trashed my sanity 

nothing is appealing to me anymore 

the will to live has long abscond 

this room has been my devastation 

this state has plunged me irredeemably 

if this voice comes again for a finally call 

I might yield without a second thought
