Reflection

A loud cry echoed in the silence of night
Disturbed with the sound of a sorrowful plight
The darkness I braved and started searching
Following the sound to see where it’s coming
Oblivious of the danger it might bring
My feet couldn't stop walking
Dug-dug, dug-dug, my heart beats loud
As I go nearer the source of sound
I lift my feet and stepped slowly
To my horror the floor creaked loudly
All of a sudden the weeping stopped
And it felt like my heart dropped

I did not move, afraid to make noise again
I stood still with the deafening sound of silence
the wind became stronger in anger
Slapping my face with the air that got colder
Unsure why I can't move a muscle
No matter how hard I wrestle
In sheer desperation I tried to shout
But no sound was coming out of my mouth
A cold and shaking hand touched my lips
From behind, arms wrapped my body
It is as cold as ice, that I started to shiver
I pleaded for it to let go while I cry a river

I closed my eyes and started to pray
My soul surenderred and all pain I lay
When finally the viscious wind stopped
I felt relieved and my body dropped
I opened my eyes and I saw a face
A face that has fought a painful race
There are wounds - deep cuts on her skin
And blood is still flowing from within
"What have you done," I asked softly
Then she looked at me with eyes teary
I went near her with torch on hand
Taken aback and can't seem to understand

"This is just an imagination," I said painfully
I glance back and looked curiously
I walked closely towards her
Crying as I stare and wonder
With tears my vision got blurred
I can't believe she is the cry I heard
"What have I done," I asked in horror
As I stand in front of a mirror.
