when hope ceased
Reva Gupta 2002 (Uttar pradesh)
Tears dried,
Smoke subside,
The beer bottle wounds filled
The headphones broke from the bombard of soul shattering music,
Yet my legs lingered on the ledge,
too scared for the life I couldn’t live
About this poem
i wrote this poem about a time in my life where despair was the only thing that seemed hopeful. I cherish it a lot and it tells me never to fall off the edge.
