My mistake
Was loving you too hard.
My regret
Was never telling you
That I needed love back.

Drip drop
Drip drop the blood won’t stop
All I hear is the drops
Looking back I ignored the signs
And that knife blurred the lines
Life together was the goal
But you switching up took it’s toll
How many times have we been here
Same number of times that knifes been there
Drip drop
Bloods everywhere all I hear is “hey are you there ?“
Drip drop
Have I finally learned my lesson
Drip drop
How many times have I repeated this lesson
I guess you could say I was addicted
Addicted to the pain
Thoughts of you linger on my brain
The first stab caught me by surprise
I never even saw the knife rise
Drip drop
What’s worse was the look in your eyes
A snake can only hide it’s fangs for so long
The wounds healed before long
And my heart kept running back
And time after time I got a knife  in the back
Sublime feelings of forgiveness
And it took some time to get to this
Red flags shouldn’t be ignored
And you only loved that you were adored
Drip drop  
From my side this blood poured
As I lay here floor
I refused to acknowledge you crossed me
So my life it cost me
Last drops the bloods stopped
Here lies the suicidal lover
Cause of death
Severe loss of blood due to multiple stab wounds
This blade is all that’s left
Holding on to ones pain is suicide Especially if you love it too much to leave it

Meera
He doesn't burn photographs
He doesn't join therapy sessions
He doesn't smoke too many cigarettes
Nor he drown himself into alcohol
He scratches his wounds daily
And never let them heal
He doesn't try to get rid of the pain
Instead he let it grow on him
He waters the seed of sorrow with his tears
He feeds it with the manure of old memories
He takes it to sleep with him
And nurtures it in himself
Till the moment when every single drop of his blood gets replaced by this pain
Until his fragile heart can bear no more
And his soul starts overflowing with emotions
That's when he dip his pen into this pain
And empty his heart on a piece of paper
He bares his soul for us to feel
He creates poetry that the world would cherish for centuries to come
That's how true poetry comes into existence

Why haven’t I learn’t my lesson
That your not my blessing
Blowing past the red flags
Now I lie here looking at the red
Drip drop
There goes another drop
I’m bleeding

Here we are again
You’ve caught me
After you said never again
I seized your heart ❤️
The same heart she swore he’d never hold again
You asked what makes me think-
Think what ? I asked
-That you can tip toe in and outta my heart
I,,I,,I Don’t know
You began to cry why, why me ?
Why does it feel like your toying with my heart ?
I maybe the king of hearts
But I’d rip mine from my chest just for you
If loving you was a crime
This failure of mine hurt us both
Mesmerizing you with my words
We’d take off again like two birds
But not this time , you’ve caught me
Tip toeing back in to your heart ❤️
I Admit it , I love you 😘
And only you
But my words betray me
As you’ve pulled away from me
I spoke my truth but pain drives you away
Sitting alone in this room
This is just where I belong
In this state of Doom
It dawns on me
I waited to long
But you returned, yawn 🥱 , asking what do we do now
We live ,we thrive, we grow
Babe just don’t go
And I’ll renounce my throne as the king of hearts 💕
I only need yours
And just like that he seized her Heart ❤️
And she arose as his queen of hearts 💕

For you
I will be the housewife
and obey
and put on my stained apron
with my weathered cracking hands
and cook
your meals hot

For you
I will be the mother
and tell our wonderful blessings
of the perfect man
I met
and how he
fixed me

For you
I will be the good daughter
and force a fake smile
when your mother tells you
that you could do better


For you
I will be the friend
and be your punching bag
in your drunken state
and forgive you
when you come too

For you
I will be the love of your life
and be with you
in all your hardships
and puffy eyes
that even I can’t understand

My life is not ideal
Yet day in and day out
I can assure you it’s real
There’s no one way about it
I have my ups and downs
No matter how it may feel
I have my smiles and my frowns
Even still I don’t start a perfect day
But in its own way
Today’s a perfect day
I wish I could stay
But that would do no good
Ideal or not I’m not dead so
I’ve got to keep pushing forward
Because there’s said to be beauty in the struggle
Reach out towards a uncertain future
Only thing that is certain is it’s too soon to pull the curtain
If time is a test that too shall pass
Life can continue to test just know I test well
Be it a gamble then I’m all in
