Beloved
Sand Oct 2017
Take my unfinishes melodies
and stich them into a song
Oh beloved
Your cruelty, your kindness
have both robbed me

          (excerpt from "Chaandaniya" [Moonlight], written by Amitabh Battacharya)
Chaandaniya (Moonlight) is a Hindi song from the 2014 film, 2 States. I am currently listening to it on repeat. I love the lyrics

Sleep, Sleep
Sand Sep 2017
I lie awake
awaiting sleep
I lie in wait
For a moment's peace

But this restless energy will not leave me be
No wide yawns or heavy lids will come to set me free

"Sleep, sleep"
I whisper, in tune to my heart beat
"Drink me"
The coffee at my bedside tempts me

I close my eyes and start to count sheep
"Sleep, sleep" I whisper softly

"**** it" I eventually groan
reaching for my coffee
Drank too much coffee. Cannot sleep

Sing Along
Sand Oct 2017
The sound of you living your life
motivates me to keep living mine,
and create my own song
to sing along with yours
my best friend is helping me get through my bad times, while also going through his own fair share of difficulties. This is for him. Seeing him get up and live life in spite of everything, is an inspiration to me

Searching For Home
Sand Oct 2017
Sunlight burns my face everyday
Yet I am cloaked in shadows

Even the moonlight burns my face
But all around me is still dark

I am a lonely soul, around the world I roam
Searching for acceptance, searching for home
I'm really lonely in spite of being surrounded by so many people in my immediate surroundings

Slow Down
Sand Sep 2017
Quarter of a century;
How quickly the years go by
Still no life plans for me
Just more dreams to pass time
As I look on at the world racing ahead
While I,
I slow down to love
It's my birthday today, and I was thinking about how little of a plan I have for my future. I just really want to spread as much love around as I possibly can until I can't anymore

Milord
Sand Feb 2018
You shall bleed!

No Milord, please

You shall harm yourself!

No Milord, please

You shall love the one who does not reciprocate!

No!!! I beg you Milord, no! Don't do this to me!

You shall suffer!
You shall suffer!
You shall suffer!
Till death comes for you!

Y-yes Milord

So Be It
Sand Feb 2018
It's lonely and cold
Without your voice
It's bitter and miserable
Without your words
But if that's the price I have to pay
For the paths we've chosen
So be it

Rest
Sand Oct 2017
See, I have a racing mind
Trapped in a sluggish body
I've dreamed an entire world outside space and time
I made it to comfort me
For when this world slips out of my grasp
And I have no hold on my sanity
My world is there, so rich, so vast
To pick me up and grant me rest

Sad All The Time
Sand Sep 2017
I'm sad all the time
Not for any reason, just because
I want to break down and cry
When I think of who I was
Vs who I am

I used to have dreams
Now I only crave sleep
I used to want to fly
Now I'm content with crawling
I was a person with a calling
Now I struggle to find a reason to get by
written about my many depressive episodes where it feels like I've been visited by a dementor and I'll never be cheerful again
Sand Feb 2018
Being genuine
Caused me more pain
Keep smiling could've helped
Knowing to keep my distance would've helped
Maturing faster might've helped
Should I blame my depression?
Should I blame the little professional help I get?
Should I keep throwing blame?
Or just give up and go to sleep

— The End —
