It seems so easy

A simple word

Only a gesture

It seems so hollow

A small action

Barely a second

But pain echoes inside

Fruit of your careless touch

Born of that hurtful urge

Reducing me to this

An evident target

An effortless way

A permanent presence

An escape you can’t abandon

Silent tears flood my eyes

Painful cries you don’t answer

Why would it matter?

That statue at a corner

Its emotions you ignore

Its actions you abhor

But it still cries

…I still hurt

Why can’t I let go?

Why can’t I learn?

After so many moments

After so many words

Sore wish I still care for

How I hate it

How I hate that part of me

How I hate that easiness you show

How I hate the weakness I hold

How I hate myself sometimes

Because I still cry

Knowing it will hurt

Because I still forgive

Knowing it will happen again

Because I still hope

Knowing it will remain futile

Because I still bleed

Knowing it will stay unseen

You are here again

Smile on your face

All forgotten, all forgiven

Because I’m still here

Open arms, hidden pain

But my wound still bleeds

My eyes still cry

My heart still hates

And when I look into the mirror

The face that I see

Nothing more than a nightmare,

That I ought to hate the most,

My fragile illusion,

Broken reflection of humanity
