24/F I wanted to write, so I am writing (but that doesn't mean I am good at it) / But I want to write till I get better.
People leave you out in the cold and get mad when you learn how to get warm by yourself.

Distance.
I took my rusted pen, my useless words and tried to write something beautiful for you. Words filled with my love, words that tasted like all your favorite forgotten dreams. But I found myself tracing the only words on your skin. I ended up rewriting your sorrow. I ended becoming the face of your fears.

Your Skin, My Words
all the folded boats spill out of my empty books. the trees are on fire again. my mind is on a another wild chase. my hands light some more branches. “the world is too cold for me”, is all that i can say. today, i am less sad than yesterday, which makes everything that much more difficult. today my sorrows have become facts. my childhood reduced to folded boats in a trash can. is there any other way to live than this?

Temperature of this World
A drop of me falls on your leaves, falls from your leaves. The rain of love finds you again even if it is without me. The ground of reality hits me again, asking me to give you up. It tells me that if I wait enough, wait long enough I will find you. And by finding you only I will be ruined.

Drop of Me
There is something about this life. This life with you that makes me feel guilty. It is the life that I am not supposed to be in. I feel like I am trespassing and any moment someone would catch me for asking and taking more than I deserve for thinking of a possibility of happiness with you.

Life With You
The tissues I have cried into are my excuses, to hide the clutter of calls and love I forgot to return. Sometimes it is too late to clear the mess I made. It is more difficult to retain my will to clean it all up, which sort of made me guilty of creating another sad person. But what is another tissue in another sea. Everyone dreams of sailing into a brighter morning leaving behind their darkness in another’s mind. What if I am as selfish as them. What is another ship, another selfish wish amidst thousand such others- all stranded on a water-less heart all looking for a flood, instead of directions.

Stranded
My night melts into dreams of you and even when I loose my dream I loose my sleep, the night stays with me. The broken strand of hair on my shoulder could have been your tear if it had not passed through this night I live with, if it was not born in the fragile dream that you are.

Burnt Dreams
I am tempted to walk into the night and look for you who has always stood on the other side of my fear, waiting for me everyday, carrying a flower of hundred petals petals that wither one by one like the clock that marks days not hours, days that otherwise would have been too long if something didn’t tell us again and again that not much time has passed and not much time is left. Though by the waters of sorrow that reach till my chest, I can tell that it would be too late and too futile even if we meet now, when all the happiness that we came with has been spent by our imprudent youth. But still even if it is late I want to come to you, Even if I am broken I want to be yours. Even if for a day.

Not Much
The moon shines in my tear lined eyes. On the edges of my nails that have lost their color. Tonight once again light falls on only on those bits of me that are in no need for the love of a neutral god.

Lost Color
I wish I was empty-handed at the end of our story. But I am left with your memory and anger at myself for not being enough. Life would have been easier without both.
