Faceless


Faceless I was
In the burning summer of '09
Woke up before the sunrays could beam
Suffering insomnia,
Sacheted to the kitchen for a cup of cold coffee cream
Yawned and blinked my eyes upto the mirror
I felt a surge
The coffee was tasteless
My mirror image was faceless.

Went to work
Computers and copiers, corners and bookcases
All had become malingent edges
I turned the monitor on
My heart leaped
Faceless figures all around
Who could speak no words, could hear no sound
I felt senseless
Everyone was faceless.

Went out to the greens
To inhale and rejuvenate
My spirit of being a human
Killing the self professional demon
It had taken over my mind
It was eating away at my soul
My throat burned with fear
My stomach growled even more
In my mind I was still looking into the mirror
Yet I did not know who I see
All that I knew
That faceless figure couldn't be me.

I came back home
There he was
I grabbed myself in anger
Or was it more in fright
I was just shocked
To see that sight
A shadow black as night
I laughed and then cried
Crumbled to the floor
Felt like a dream
Unlike I had ever seen before
Abandoned, broken hearted, powerless
Crushed under the powerful lord of darkness
I saw him, I saw my soul
I was him, he was faceless...
