I see nothing

Whenever I close my eyes

And try to recall your face

To hold onto the good memories

We have ever had

I come up with nothing.

Whenever I try smiling

Thinking about the dreams I have had

To recall how I have been

Cheerful and joyful being

I just find emptiness

And I feel nothing.

Whenever I try holding on

To the fence I adored

As a child, as a girl

I find it broken

And nobody is there to mend it

And I find nothing.

Whenever I try writing

Of love, of life

Of flowers, moon, butterflies

I look at the world outside

All I see is black and white

And I can think nothing.

Whenever I search for colours

And bursts of laughter

Pretty smiles, lovely voice

My eyesight gets dimmed with time

And though I say I’m fine

I see nothing.
