The City where the Sun never Shines

What time is it? Is it April or May?

Did I sleep through another day?

What use is it of, to wake up in the dark

The empty streets and an empty park

 

There is no scent as no flowers bloom

No light outside, nor inside my room

I hear some voices, coming from nearby

In the background of those, a cry!

 

I shouldn't look outside or shall I...

It could be an enemy or an ally

Slowly and slowly, I moved ahead

Fuck it! I don't want to be dead

 

The crying outside not so far away

Sent me shivers making me stay

Afraid, my eyes couldn't hold back

Tears concealed beneath the world black

 

I panicked and shouted at empty space

Hoping someone will come and embrace

My shouts have always been in vain

Wait! Am I experiencing this again!

 

Since the light has gone into the black

The precious time has lost it's track

I don't even remember who I was

I just see my wrists wrapped in gauze

 

Slowly, I remember what had transpired

Why my life and I had become so tired

This time I decided to face that cry

Oh god, this certainly is no ally

 

I saw a man beaten and drenching in blood

His wrists cut and feet in bloody mud

He looked at me, the sad eyed mope

He seemed to have lost all the hope

 

Wait a minute.. I recognise this lonely bloke

No, it couldn't be! Is it some kind of joke!

Slowly it fell and died beneath the feet of mine

Sending shivers down my spineless spine

 

So this must be it. This must be the end of it

After so many effortless efforts, this is it.

Why couldn't anyone..anyone see the signs

It's my city where the sun never shines
