19/M/Mumbai It's not the waking, it's the rising
I often wondered why people like love stories as a child In mild amusement I used to rebel love Used to play with it like my hands were shaper of this reality in youth Until I found love and soon lost it to suicide. And this is not the sad part my fellow readers for the day was red It was cloudy and red, but I cared none, i didn't emote Didn't even cry properly, didn't shread tears when I need to I tried to **** myself but I couldn't cry for heaven's sake When that little child has seen such things he forms a dome of invisible walls No one closer and no one deeper to really hold my hand and talk about my broken heart But when time "healed" me I thought I was done with this And then I found you, as funny as laughter and as cute as a bunny. First conversation I asked for some notes and you said to ask it like "ask nicely mommy" on your phone Back then I knew you were as weird and as funny as anyone I have ever seen Everyday I feel in love more, when I kissed you first and held back you said "can't stop now baby" and kissed me again Everyday felt like a new version of me was born to love the little child in you That smirky smiley face so adorable and so beautiful When we crashed our cycles when I got a new one And we didn't think twice after we fell down and just kissed And how you took me to the hospital after I injured my finger for a tetanus(that was not in the *** btw) I loved how much you grew each day, how much love you shred with me And in time how much you grew and how many friends you made. When we were having that picnic on hillside and I held you close, i swear to have seen you forever and ever When you slept with me for the first time and didn't tell me that you got the deluxe room, I was so attracted When you were sat with me in the garden and we talked for 3 hours straight about absolutely nothing and everything at once. How you made me feel so loved when you held me and didn't let me go How I made noises when you used to eat and you used to get annoyed How pretty you looked in that white dress that has little holes so the sunlight could kiss the ground How amazing you looked with your bangs and how beautiful you looked during freshers How many times have I said I'll gonna be ****** for this exam and you assured me not to worry How amazing you looked in that saree for Diwali and garba when we took pictures of us kissing There are a thousand things I can recall but nothing is as sweet as that first "I love you" All of this yet I never showed enough effort not because I didn't love you, but because I was dead inside I never healed from that heartbreak 3 years ago And if I did we would be something so beautiful so precious But darling I'm an idiot, I thought what never enters my brain could never hurt me But it poisoned me made me stiff, made me less into showing effort not because I didn't want to But because I was subconsciously always scared of not letting myself die if you left me like that last time But I forgot that this is no solution and that's all I should apologise on And you were no better with your emotional baggage of not being able to confront people and hurt them Something that stemed from your harsh childhood which never gave enough feedback to change So honey we're just two ****** up people, and I wish I can read you this poem but I know that it's too late And with grace I'll say you have taught me so much about myself Given me so many happy moments that I think you're one of the best things to ever happened to me I don't think I'll be able to find someone like you but that doesn't mean I'll stop trying I love you no more romantically then as a friend. We accept the love we think we deserve. Ps:I didn't make a playlist because the last time I did, I almost jumped off a bridge listening to it. I didn't want blood on your hands :)

When you're feeling better than yesterday The liquid sugary syrup on your fingers dries before you wash it And the feeling of nothing feels like an old song you heard somewhere on MTV Or somewhere hidden behind a magazine same as the one you read yesterday but different When you are not saddened by the dead in people Other times when it's not unbearable to hear them sing When you feel free to ask, and borders are clay that the child in you could tear apart Yet you sit tight over distance, hovering your eyes over the dry wall And counting sheep or rage against some machine without feelings.

Better than
...Look out kid, there is a theatre down the alleyway Get hitched, get wasted, get high, fall in love When things are simple everything is words on someone's diary waiting And hungry to be true, and truth is hardly born under control It's what we feel, and to feel is to be human must've been written by some poet And off the coast of some city when the handles of our bicycles collide And when all the stupid world shrunk to your eyes and your dyed blue hair I was not in control and how can I only think of that poet? As roads felt short, time was waiting, space was yearning to be filled, the wind begins to shake the dozen trees that held up against the cold which was out to **** me Everything was a poem and I was that poet. I'm sure your heart is just a little poem I can read.

I've lost control, but...
Rip apart, tore apart every shread of this hour The blackness is misfit for every color is a crime I swear the celling is an art I can't touch The concrete is a question I can't answer And I'm fully unaware of what I feel and I wait for something As I empty this hour in retrospection

Lazy ******* Pig
Clarify my boundaries in shapes of barbed wires I speak often nothing of you When the greyhound bus collides All the angry people rose in deny Such is the loveless beakoning of our demise I speak often everything to you And yet my soul shifts to the mirrors I touch, yet never get passed the reflections Of that bus and all those who reside "He's mine" I spat to thin vacuum of my listening But the bus was all such a ruse, for the ambulance to drive by Petrified of the boundary we shaped In the forms of barbed wires

Boundaries
Did I lose a pound or few? Running away from the tyranny of my self hate. Infectious and contagious, My touch is an early spring flu in summer, Uncertain and cold. Strings of quiet, play over a course cough from my unwell, That how every day is cut from every night that I spend waiting for the next. And the touch is lost in cold, Stark realities that merge and imagination that falls below critical temperature, And all i wonder apart from the white concrete is Did I lose a pound or few?

Touch
Turning a tap clockwise, a mild annoyance of our creed. A fever grew, and its meaning was lost to you and me. Losers won, the writers pen cribbed some far away death, It comes and goes like flowers growing near peppermint. I long for that fall, which would take the heart of me, entirely, to write some words about our destiny. Love is the grief of all things wrong with me. Countless sins, yet still hunting those winds of sweet. Lost to me, Lost by me

Lost To Crazy Winds of Rain
there is a fire hydrant a few meters away from my car it screams fire like it saw everything like a child playing seek with me and hide in a corner above the clouds and hid there for a thousand nights and I scream and scream, but nothing creeps but the emptiness in the shape of a frat child's school drawing locking the suitcases, going to places but it's like the spring of the coldest where my eyes hover on your shoes maybe my autism for I never took that test But I snap to the pretentious smile I give as it breaks like crumbling bridges over dead breeze and dying waters there is a knife a few meters away from me a particular joke I must always make about knife, and the art of self-worth a knife so distant once that only the moon hit her twice a month, her soft and gleaming glow her unwavering, free ecstasy on a Monday coming from an angle, so inclined it feels illegal "but nothing is illegal in love", the knife said the moon changed its angle, on a Tuesday and the knife died by cutting himself there is nothing a few meters from me

A Few Good Meters
idealism is dead on the kneel, gleaming mile-high glow but leaking some blood, desperation, realistically the ideal road is twisted and melted into the bars to walk past till sundown and turn left to the county turn right to the world of the corrupt, leaching, and thieving maybe you'll get a life son, like that man right there that man in a white hat wanted to buy the world, whole he blows on his tambourine like he blows on this world a dark shroud of a man covered in green, a mountain of it the next day, a long night in Arkham Asylum, a lil' Johnny Cash an old man was traveling that bleak road, smoking and smiling when he turned right, he saw the man in his dim eyes and asked "my blued son, where are my valleys and the mountains?" "Where are my swans and rivers, birds and children playing? "Where are the mothers, drunks, and the lovers?" "Where are the commies, the reformers, the queers?" "Where are my space rockets, satellites, and science stuff?" "Where are the trees, those green insects, or flowers, it's near spring?" the man said, "Old man you're insane, that was all in your head. dipped and planted like a seed, the moon was a joke, and the sun too. You need to be electrocuted and controlled till you're better, this is the real world" he turned to some corner to say "come, writers and critics, invite and incite some distinct pain don't block your mind with senseless meaning, be blinded today come, ladies and gentlemen, curse some distinct verse of words struck together by your vision of hell, spun to heaven" Future Is A Bleak Piece of Music

a tale of the broken man passing undecided he said it was under plan but turns out he was blinded oh the sun is setting down and the land is growing dark "do I just sit and frown" and leave it to lonely mark a tale of the broken man like a bottle in the sea a gambler and his greed boiling to thoughts of flee oh the moon is shooting light and the land is cold and dark will he sulk all night, tonight? or will he defend his lonely mark' his lonely mark
