Funeral

I attended the funeral

It was attended only by one

The dead and the witness was all but one

There were tears from dry eyes

Dry tears that no one saw

The eyes appeared hollow

Hollow feelings couldn’t be shed

The wails of mourning were silent

The voiceless ones do not speak

Sikiladi

Nothing mattered!

The world! The people around!

The emotions went buried deep

The deeper they went, the lighter it felt

Leaving me unburdened

Sikiladi

I immersed myself in the ground

The ground was slippery

It swallowed me in

Leaving no time for any rituals

Rituals had anyway lost their meaning

For they belonged to the world

The same world, which He belonged to

He tainted my world with grief

The grief that he merrily gifted me

The grief that killed my soul

I am left with a mere body

Having cremated the remnants

Sikiladi

The body shall soon dissolve into the Earth

But

My soul is cremated and gone forever

No rebirth! No coming back!

I prayed to Almighty before I left

Yet

I live on in this world in matter form

The real me is dead and gone

Sikiladi

I thank him, who killed my soul

He taught me life’s biggest lesson

Trust not them on face value

They have ulterior motives

They deserve you not, not any bit

I am happy to be dead

I took along my miseries and joys

I left behind the comfort toys

For I felt deceit

I had succumbed to his ploys

Sikiladi

Rest in peace knowing well that you killed me

You killed my entire being in a swish

You brought to fruition your wish

From a distance that was cold

In the heat of emotions I froze

I attended the funeral of my soul

Joyfully joyless.

Painfully painless.

Thoughtfully thoughtless.

Sikiladi
