Calamity

Your smile was a masked trap
I lost track

I feel helpless
And agonizingly restless

You lie and say that I amuse you
Yet all you do is use me

You never speak your mind
Why do I manifest your kind?

You were here
 And your mind wavered elsewhere

It's not your words that tore me
But the uninterrupted silence that broke me.

-Aditi Shetty.
