*Communicate*

Once it was done through eyes,
Which then turned to gestures,
Followed by handwritten letters.
Then came long calls,
Which upgraded to SMS,
But now we don't communicate.

We always stay up late,
Trying to hide not behind, but with lies,
While trying to confess,
And break down the structures,
That are the pillars to someone's walls,
And satisfy oursleves in their litters.

We have accustomed ourselves to gitters,
While our nervous selves berate,
And propogate all that is false,
Casting aside everything simple and nice,
While the truth around us ruptures,
And the end only waits us to confess.

We don't feel anything but stress,
To be alone and to be the go-getters,
Getting to know someone are forbidden ventures,
Unless it's for the nemesis update,
Or shaking hands with your allies,
And all that matters is your enemy falls.

We wake up as us and sleep as dolls,
Puppets of people and nothing less,
Where even broken strings don't break ties,
And our hearts have forgotten flutters,
We are breathing, but we are inanimate,
For emotions are preys for vultures.

We forget to free our captures,
And we boast to be know-it-alls,
Overwhelmed by things that never satiate,
We loose ourselves in the mess,
Our vulnerable minds search for vestures,
While our soul screams, weeps and cries.

If only we understood those gestures,
If only we read the message and not SMS,

If only we picked the lonely calls,
If only we were brave enough to read those letters,

If only we stopped this madness and decided to communicate,
If only we opened and read each other's eyes.

A/N:

I finally wrote a derivative of Sestina! Yay!
Here is the complicated pattern of it. Although the sestina uses only 6 words, here i used 6 rhymes. I gave it my own twist.

It took me hours to write this.
I swear this is the most difficult form to write!

Did the message get across? What do think of this poem?
