A Dark Mist

The cold floor feels comforting,
As the numbness caresses me slowly.
Sinking into my chambers of distress,
My fragile arms engulf me and me only.

In the darkness of the night,
The silence echoes in my ears.
I’m guided by the wind,
Guided deeper into my fears.

Every single day, the mirror questions me.
I wish to wander where my solace lies,
I wish to forgo the constant anathema,
But I feel deluded by my unholy cries.

In the darkness of the night,
My thoughts obscure my reality.
Gasping for breath in the toxic air,
My grave lies beneath this calamity.

The cold floor is still comforting,
As the numbness caresses me slowly.
To put an end to these tribulations,
I surrender myself into this melancholy…

-Ishita Gupta & Tanvi Kamra
