Barren eyes seek solace,
For benevolence,
Benign presence,
& empathy humane,
Warmth absolute,
Surmise such is only sane,
A desire to feel the closeness,
But, the being remains mute,
Neither expressions nor words,
Bridge the abyss erected via follies,
Or let it bury into pangs of infamy,
One submerged in bygone,
Other immersed in distant future,
Overlooking the current
Sans emotions, delivering duties,
Following instructions, robot like
For the whining heart has respite none,
Bruised and scarred,
Bereft of any choice,
Anguished to arise and have its voice
