Just realising that you have been gashed will not erase the Scar that is bound to form. The most you can do is tend to that Wound and ensure it Never opens again.

After The Words Are Exchanged
I have been cruel.
I don't know if it was necessary.
I don't know if it was deserved.
All I know is that I have been cruel.
Why was it so?
Do I even regret it?
Have I truly stooped so low in this life?
The thought plagues me.
I know not what I have done,
But the thorns around my heart
Constrict with knowing silence.
They were merely words,
Having no effect on the receiver.
But I must live
Knowing I have been cruel.
– Maya Desdemona
Invisible
Slipping away,
Feeling unseen,
Can anyone see me?
Do I want them to?

A Question Answered
Ethereal Goddess,
Can we say that we tried?
Just this once?
Magnificent disaster,
Trying was not enough,
It never is.

A Casualty
Across the pond filled with reeds,
The lone soldier's tall figure heaves.
Weary of his deeds,
He is now one with the weeds.
One can only hope that he finds peace,
And that his soul is now at ease.
– Maya Desdemona
Farewell
Stalling this departure,
Cause I know that
This is the last farewell
Between us.
Goodbye my friend.
– Arsh
Missing You
Crossing this world and others,
Searching for a version of us
Who survived together.
But we could never have stayed together
In any world that I can concieve.
I believe that that's the tragedy of it,
It was inevitable.

Day Twenty Five: Greed And War
All it takes
To ruin the peace of
One who does not know war
Is the greed of One individual.
– Maya Desdemona
Reincarnation
What would reincarnation feel like?
Would I be glad for another chance?
Or would I miss my previous life?
Would it be a new beginning?
Or would it be another series of regrets?
I hope that I never have to know.
– Arsh
Untethered
Untethered from this sordid reality,
Feeling numb through all life's trials.
Making choices from behind a glass screen,
Screaming and never hearing it.
