I've caged myself in these subtle melancholies of life. The everyday trifles between these two inner voices. The walls of the cage listen to me. They know me through every minuscule. They have seen me live and die ...resuscitate and then again die a little more. These walls are my silent consolers. I confide in them. The tapestries on the ceilings have painted me in yellow ecstasy and crimson pain. Only the curtains have hung closer when I cried The floors have been stained with charred papers laden with verses of love and yet,never complained. The bedsheets soaked my miseries, my pain while I whined day in and day out... Ask the pillows they've learnt by heart, the chronicles of nocturnal cursings. They have tasted my blood, seeping from my veins to theirs in the death of the night. They've known me. They've grown me - from a girl to a woman.
