An Inexplicable Space

An Inexplicable Space

There is a void that exists in her,
Among the dense mysteries of life,
A silent killer of gaiety,
The skeptic in a crowd of believers.

The void does not grow,
Does not recede…Only perpetrates.
No arrow of cruelty can pierce it,
For it is already torn…it is void!
This void has become a part of her now,
Has found a place in her proud bosom,
The exact place, where earlier,
Her shy, broken heart had sought refuge.

The void grew out of a tiny hole-
A tiny aperture in that resilient heart,
The void fed on fear and insecurity,
And day by day, it grew in intensity.

The void feared only one enemy- love.
The girl had none…vulnerable, she was.
So very vulnerable.

And so, she surrendered to the vacuity,
Eager to adapt and ‘toughen up’,
Little did she know that it was a ploy,
Where either win would be a loss.

Trapped she was, and has been ever since,
At a loss of words, emotions or feeling,
Unable to judge the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’,
And not caring for either, either.

Today, she is an empty shell,
Waiting for the treasures of happiness
To be entrusted to her lonely heart.
She waits…and waits…

Clutching the hand of the silent void,
That never left her side,
She refused to believe its evil intentions,
She refused to see truth through the clear glass of life…
