Blank Space | Kriti Garg

I felt fingers puncture the walls

Of my heart and soul alike

Pulling me down in the sinking sand

With every struggle shrug I made

I felt another strike

It engulfed me

But the black just faded away

As under I went

Light swallowed the grey

Chaos set in my mind

Didn't know which end pulled me close

I felt like a rubber band

In an empty void- dose

Racing beats and melting masks

I felt every petal unfurl

The vacuum pulled apart

But in liberation, I twirled

To think of what it was

All it brings is pain

Well the soul left its cage

The silent screeches weren’t in vain

Was it a walk to ashes

Or did I lead ahead

Of all that crushed the existence

Of the ephemeral salvation thread…

It was the blank space is all I know!
