Melted metals stream your head <br />Eyes become too hot to sleep <br />Desolate feelings unite <br />Solidify into alloys you choose to keep. <br /> <br />A piano falls on you <br />An untuned guitar plays in your ear <br />Expectations daze you confused <br />Your music becomes your fear. <br /> <br />The heart knows not of science <br />Yet you try to decompose <br />The heat is too much to take in <br />But what you took in froze. <br /> <br />This may parade your mind <br />But parades don’t last a lifetime.<br /><br />Mehreen Mujeeb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/painful-parades/
