My heart was rippled by an earthquake

the flame in my life vanished,

then I had no cause to smile,

the melody of happiness had been

long forbidden now

 

I couldn't feel the magic anymore,

because her lips were no more there to kiss

because her eyes were no more

there to look into, fathom the power

she had

 

I wept eminently,

I never saw her again,

where did she go?

 

Well, I was blinded,

I couldn't see anymore,

then I had to camouflage my real being

with the creativity of many characters,

and I managed to do it

 

I became a walking cartoon,

my eyes were an optical pen drive,

copying whatever action I could

to cover my sad being

 

Full of so many weaknesses

and a broken fort,

I was totally destroyed

but with these immitations,

I was totally invisible,

but unlike venom,

to me, they were symbiotes

of deliverance

covering my shattered being,

I became an unexposed walking cartoon,

to a walking magnetic field,

I got attention

by being an immortal chameleon

 

Well, this was the extreme transformation

that the snare of heartbreak had lured me into

but I had no choice,

since I wanted no one to see it

 

Till I met friends,

who came and delivered me,

and they still are,

and they still will,

because they are friends,

in Utah.
