SNIGDHA AGRAWAL

Abstract Drama

Runaway Closed

Runaway Closed

My eyelids are drooping 

Heavy with sleep

Somehow it doesn't close the full lid

Like overstuffed suitcase

Locks refuse to click

No matter how hard I kick


Monsters in my brain 

Are fighting endless wars 

Overs things I did wrong

At that point not caught

Life was chockablock 

Unpremeditated actions ignored


At the end of life's runaway 

Tyres have worn out

Wish I could right those wrongs

The fuel tank has emptied

Spirit downed, filled with sorrow

Cornered, face up against the wall


Why doesn't life give a second chance

Retrace, undo, dig into the past,

Excavate black chunks of coal 

In crevices still trapped

O how good would then seem the passage

From here to heaven, sans regrets luggage
