9.)

carrying the burden
of long dead dreams
these puffy eyes of mine
weary and sleep deprived,
devoid of all happiness-
which were washed away
with the tears of failure,
leaving two dry sockets
looking cold like marbles
sitting in a black hole
and staring into infinity
absorbing every ray
of hope that falls on it.
I only put my signature on big cheques.

10.)
Looking at your reflection
only to find a stranger
inside the mirror world
staring back at you.
Feeling lost in your life
without any zeal left
criticizing every decision
that landed you at this point.
Your chapped lips frozen
from cold lies you speak,
the glow on the face lost
overshadowed by remorse
while your dreary eyes
reflect the horrors within,
dark secrets embedded in
deep trenches of your heart.


Spoiler! :
It's incomplete at the moment. I'll probably come back later to add more imagery and lines to the poem
I only put my signature on big cheques.
