Inside of Me

I carried your indifference
Inside of me
Long silent curtains
Swaying back and forth
But you did not look
What was inside.
Oh Asima, where did you go?
So far is the distance
Yet it knocks on my door on every whisper
That echoes your name
I carried your unspoken words
Inside of me
Melancholy symphonies of a long journey
That you were yet to take
But you did not know then
You were too busy planning out my own fate
Alone.
I carried your regrets
Inside of me
Winding snakes of guilt
Beckoning you away from me
And you poisoned yourself
Leaving me searching for a cure
Now I carry your disease
Inside of me
Spitting out your sins
On others who do not deserve
But I am you
and I am all else that killed me
