Lips meet each other
Kiss, say goodnight
Eyes know they will speak no more
Definitely not now
Timid, red, soft
Quivering with fear,
Every word echoes
Uttered, looking at the other
As a lesser mortal.
Eyes spew red hot embers
No matter how the lips feel
The soul lets out a cry
Not blanketed in silence
Much pain it endures
Before the eyes shed tears.
Eyes make a compassionate resolve
To ignite the change setting ablaze
Remains of indifference
To those living under leafless trees
Braving the Sun that melts all valour
Lips mute themselves
Words sometimes meaningless
Useless, disagreeing, fake
Eyes shut tight
Not to see, nothing more to speak
Not to utter a syllable
As innocent blood spills on the face.
