Dumb Heart
Silence is my loudest scream
For in the total silence, one can feel the screaming of my heart
trying to survive the furious waves of the "lost love" sea
just like a swimer who tries to survive a tsunamy
My heart struggles continuously;
she swims and drowns;
gets up and falls,
the beats get weaker and weaker,
but my heart is still alive.
She has tortured the brain for the lost love,
asking million "why"s, that have no "because"s,
until she gave up.
My heart no longer talks.
My heart is numb.
But.
She is alive.
Still.
