Cold peace

a sonnet for my beloved

I saw you bleed

and ran to your side,

I lulled you to sleep

so you wouldn’t cry.

I was staring like a creep

while you held onto your pride,

and when I started to weep

you bid me goodbye?

My faith you couldn’t keep

I believed your disguise,

how ashamed you would’ve been

I forced you to lie!

Again, I saw you bleed

And left you to die.

Doubts run around.

how many regrets do we have now? go to the top of the list and start the count down. i can see your innocent smile turning into a scowl. one by one we add the nights turning into an owl.

there’s not a single day that goes by where i don’t miss you. there’s not a single song which doesn’t remind me of you. there’s not a single thing in my bag that you haven’t touched. and for the autograph you gave on my textbook, i thank you very much.

clueless to how its going to be in the forthcoming year. even though we’re seperated i want us to be near. there’s a belief in my heart that my mind would not accept. its a myth I’m counting on that somewhere you regret.

if these knives could hurt more i would willingly open my skin. but there’s no space left on my body, only a void deep within. someone needs to teach me how do i come back to life. then the truth comes before me and i tell myself “its okay to walk lonely midnights.”

Ink split.

hey how are you?

long time no see

i see you’ve blocked my number

was it that big of a deal?

i go back and read our messages

your promises of ‘i wont leave’

i laugh at myself for believing

then cry myself to sleep.

i saw you walking the other day

lonely on a busy street

i must say you’ve changed yourself

maybe that’s why you don’t even want to meet.

you left something behind

the last time you were in my life

those memories of us together

are more painful than this knife.

can you please look at me?

may i hear your voice for the last time?

tell me why I can’t fix this

was falling for you that big of a crime?

Why?

my hopes skyrocketed the moment you laid your head on my shoulder

but “i fell in love” was a synonym of “i fell on a boulder”

i was fast enough to capture the image in a polaroid,

our moment is frozen, we can relive it, forever stupefied.

So touch me again, i want to feel your hair tickle my skin

now promise me, we’ll be together through thick and thin

intertwine our pinkies and seal the deal when our thumbelinas kiss

i promise i won’t leave your hand even if we’re walking into an abyss.

give me your reason, tell me why its safe to stay away?

make me understand why the distance is increasing day by day

wasn’t i trying to make things right, get our train again on track

then why did my phone display cruel words,
“i want to take a step back”?

Roadtrip

I finally found some peace

I finally got to breathe

I finally got to give myself some love i desperately need.

This trip should never cease

twisted roads look more neat

than the life that I lead, a game of puzzles you gifted me.

So are you standing out tonight?

gazing at the beautiful light

then let us stare into the darkness studded with pearly whites.

My pen is confused

and blank is my mind

as I bravely fill the pages with stories of you and I.

Love yourself the way I love me

Love yourself the way I love you

Love yourself because nobody else would.

Darkness my old friend

I drifted away and got stuck in the dark

I wanted to comfort you

Be there for you

But I, myself, was falling apart.

Would it be a coincidence if we followed our stars?

You wanted to shine

I wanted to dance

Guess we both had broken our hearts.

We got a chance to bring it all back

You were far gone

So even I moved on

Comfort in curse, we didn’t know that, you and I, had lost our track.

Measurements

It’s your waist, it’s your hip,

It’s your bust maybe your rib

It’s the shape of their wit that

You can’t seem to fit.

It’s not moral but it’s not wrong,

How can you be so strong?

Makes you sick when you try to fix

Your broken measurements.

It’s the length, it’s the width,

That you must accomplish.

It’s the height and the weight

Predictably you want to hate.

It’s the way they claim,

The body that brought you shame.

Talking lie, you pretend, you smile,

False peers believe there’s peace in disguise.

Hello. How is everyone doing? It’s been a long time since I posted anything here. This poem is dedicated to every girl or boy who’s struggling with their weight or their image. All of us want to impress the people around us but in doing so many a times we disrespect our body.

I want you to know that you are beautiful the way you are. Nobody is perfect and nobody needs to be perfect. It’s okay to feel like you need to improve yourself. Do it if you want to. Don’t do it just because you want to belong to a particular group. You are what you are and you don’t need to change for somebody else. If they can’t accept you then they don’t deserve you in their life and it’s their fault not yours.

Be happy. Take care of yourself. Rest well. Eat on time. Don’t hurt yourself too much. You’re doing great and you don’t need to be hard on yourself. Take breaks. Breathe. Live.

Oh hell it was me.

hello, hi, you called, why?
need something? a drink to drink?
nothing at all,
well then goodbye.

fell from the sky
almost at midnight,
don’t go so high
without a foresight.

break the bond
when your last breath hitch,
swim through the pond
kill the little bitch.

open your eyes
so now you’ll see
the little bitch in disguise
“oh hell, it was me.”

Dream

sleeping at five
I started to climb,
a staircase up the cloud
where my dreams hide.
your hair midnight
my heartbeat rise,
honey-tan complexion
with eyes so bright.
couldn’t decide
what’s wrong or right,
I bat my eyelashes
but it seems tears could fight.
your mouth filled with lies
storyteller of my plight,
with you my honor dies
but its only your name I can recite.
you ask, “are you fine?”
shooting stars at night,
I prayed you wouldn’t fight
when i asked, “mummy can you only be mine?”
