A Pillow Of Ego Poem by jathin aka jesuzz

A Pillow Of Ego

Rating: 2.4


For you tonight I pen
The saddest poem I ever wrote
With feelings for you remote
My cries muffled by pillow of ego
I walk away with no care or credo
Like a vacuum your absence,
Sucks in tiniest of elements, melancholy

Rivers of repent meander
The crimson sun seems to grin
A vice gleam of glee
Like enjoying my hearts silent plea
Casting a shadow of iniquity
Fate walked away whistling.

Yesterday, vibrant butterflies did fly
Today, is the day they die.
Yesterday it was music, the shepherd’s flute
Today its cacophony hurting my ears
The morning dew murmured to me
Of the tears of night before.

As onto the moon I stared,
Realizing no one really cared.
The night like silent black satin,
Slithered away through my fingertips.
Melody of the new day,
Like a Rembrandt for blind,
A Beethoven tune for the deaf
Ah as futile as futility.

Dreams weaved in loom of our love
Will never be the fabric of our life
What more can I say
For there you lay
Not mine before
Another man’s after
In this numbness, i only wonder,
Like me do u set off in sadness yonder
Hold on, a pillow of ego

Beautiful, I have to say, I'm quite smitten with the lines 'Dreams weaved in loom of our love Will never be the fabric of our life'

for you tonight my friend my knight i sing this song song of bane song of disdain i know u hear not for your ears are muffled by the pillow of ego u see not the light in my eyes u feel not the warmth in my heart for you are hugging yourself holding on to your sadness what if u don't hear from me your heart is my humble abode the sighs you sigh is my own the tears that fill your eyes dropp from mine on my pillow of sorrow
