modern kindness

I don't know if I should visit those places

where you've just erupted,

and destroyed the areas

where I was supposed to build a home.

have you ever wondered
how it feels to know
about your words

that asked me for help

weren't real  

at
all.

where do I belong in this
world full of lies
guarded by your theatrical skills ?

what has this age come to be
where mothers tell their daughters
not to love
and fathers teach their sons
to hide what they feel ?

can I ever be that kind again
if I cross the same eyes
that once lured me into sympathy
for the things that didn't exist ?

you turned my heart
into a monument of rocks

but if I let things stay the same
I'll lose myself within the rocks

so one by one I dismantle them
for the modern times have taught me
to break things that capture my essence

so in future, I want to turn into a monument
not the one built with rocks
but the one stood with
emotions.
