The Cold Response Poem by Lubna Hazeem

The Cold Response



She held her breath
As the angel of death passed by ber side
If only she knew that her day was due
She wouldn't have really stayed tonight

Let the moment be
As it slips by quickly, leaving me torn
It's clearly been planned, as i understand
Ever since the day i was born, i was born

The sound of music coming out of that room
The sound of sorrow, loneliness and gloom
Break the echo, break the spell as i'm bound
Watch as everything comes crashing down

Your voice is not going to save this heart of mine
Your voice is not going to bring me back to life
Still i'd rather hear the kindest of words but, no
Instead you give me the cold response

Everything seemed perfect up until the end
This world you've orchestrated in silence
Love is not earned, it's simply given away
And right now it's not my part to play

I can see the tides turning
I can see the ocean from way down here
I've surely hit rock-bottom because now
The water's just started to fill up my ears

The clocks were in their places
Now i can see their faces becoming real
I've nearly been fading if it weren't for
Their arms which kept me like steel

Nothing will come between us
Nothing will come between our worlds
Nothing's going to stand against our flood
The most horrible of sounds i've ever heard

I am forever in your dreams
It's sad to see all of them fall one by one
I am forever in your memory, my death
Is the answer to yours, the cold response
