It is so easy to get mesmerized
By this haze called love
I find myself forgetting
That you ain't him
And I ain't her.

And it is easy to give in to the urges
Walk hand in hand
Talk heart to heart
But if you walk in circles,
You'll exactly reach from where you begun

The brown of your eyes
Still reflect the same warmth
The misery of my heart
Still longs for your company.


And all the houses and the memories we burnt
Sometimes it is hard to believe
That you were ever him
And I was ever her.

I think I have spilled it all
But then a breeze reminds me of your touch
And just like that
A new poem is born

I think I have run out of metaphors
But then the stars fade to brown of your eyes
And just like that
A new poem is born

I think the novelty
Of being in love has worn off
But then your smile feels like eternity
And just like that
A new poem is born.

I think i have felt
all there was left to feel
But then you wink at me
And the letters inside me rearrange
And just like that
A new poetry is born.

Have you ever looked in the mirror
And searched for yourself
In the reflection

But have you ever got everything you wanted
And still had an insatiable longing gnawing at your insides

But have you ever stared into the sky long enough
That you felt it staring back into the vacant nothingness inside you

But have you ever laid awake
Spilling yourself on to the blank pages
Cause you needed to empty you of yourself

But have you ever tried listening to all the complains and secrets the cold wind carries with itself

Cause, if you had,
you would have known
That pain is universal.

A quiet morn
A girl full of distraught
A blue sky
And a grey soul.


A glass window
A peek Into the outer world
Innumerable statues
With a beating heart.

A lonely walk
Into the mind
Vivid scenery
And a dull light in the eyes

Blank pages
And the indigo ink seeping through
The more you bleed out
The less empty it feels

A dusty road
With forgotten footprints
A lost summer
With many unheard stories

A race
With no definite end point
A ticking bomb
Waiting to explode

A quiet night
And a girl full of distraught
A sky like graveyard
Stars being the buried dreams

Stay for a minute
Let me catch my breath
Let me look at the crumbling pieces
Of the palace I had made.

When did it grow so dark
Why do my lips refuse to make a sound
It is like seasons come and off they go
While I wait for myself to come back around

And the wreck of the year,
Has found a new face
And the wreck of the year
Is my new name


Stay for a minute
Let me reassemble the memories face by face
All my friends were here a minute ago
But now I see no familiar face
Even the reflection in the mirror
Looks at me with eyes askance

When did it get so lonely
I swear I can sometimes hear the bottom of the ocean
Calling out my name
Maybe in its echoes I'll bury myself
And finally feel at home

And the wreck of the year,
Has found a new face
And the wreck of the year
Is my new name


Stay for a minute
I can no longer feel my heart break
And my eyes have grown so used to the darkness
All these ghouls have learnt my name

When did the world twist upside down
Should not it be the way around
Why does light hurt my eyes
When did my friends become ghosts of the past

And the wreck of the year,
Has found a new face
And the wreck of the year
Is my new name


Stay with me
In this dark abyss
We don't have to know each other's name
But I'll hold your hand
Till we are rolling down the same path.

You don't look for me
In familiar faces all around you.
You don't think about me every time you see a sunset and wonder
How endings can be beautiful too
You don't look at the night sky and miss the constellations on my lips.

I wish you did
But then I know you don't.


You would not let me carve a cavity out of you
On a cold January night
And watch me leave in mid June,
When it's warm enough for me to fly
And you would not
Like the way I set fire on every home I have ever entered
Or how my touch would give you chills across your sweaty spine


And God, how I hoped you would,
But I know you don't.




You no longer walk that extra mile
To catch the sunrise in my smile
You  no longer stay up
Till the storm inside me subsides
You no longer want to end the day
By resting in the black of my eyes
You no longer name
The galaxies on my skin



And hence, I think it is time to make a change.


Because I hope you did but
I know you don't

And i know away from this pain,
A new horizon awaits.
