LOST SOULS

In the night

in this city

no one could hear me scream

or if they did,

ignored it.

They ignored me

as I shattered in the night

broken before my own cracked mirror

no one watching

no one aware

no one caring about my state

my fate to fall

unheard

unknown

within a land of millions

with a cast of thousands

all of whom had better things to do

than watch me die.

And still I remain

weeks later, soul departed

but body

lingering

on the floor

before the cracked mirror

day and night

in this city

of lost souls.
