Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The ache never stops.

It stays as a reminder

of the lack of you.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
These lonely bedsheets
are calling out to you now,
they're waiting for you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me forgiveness,
and do it while we make up
for time spent apart.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Did you find the light
in my dark, in my chaos?

Was it beautiful?
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I love you, I do.
I have waited a lifetime
just to call you mine.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Distance has nothing
on the indescribable
bond only we share.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
We are more than here,
more than terror and chaos.
We are more than now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Kiss these ink stained hands
and I’ll kiss the scars on yours.
We’ll find light to chase.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I heard you giggle,
softly, through the exhaustion.
It settled the ache.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I will give until
I have nothing left in me.
I was born to love.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ll never forget
the magic and elegance
I worshipped in you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I heard you whisper,
over and over again,
“Will I be enough?”
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
It's in the longing,
the waiting with bated breath,
that we find ourselves.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We fell back asleep,
tangled up in each other.
I found calm in you.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Things will settle soon
and it won’t ache anymore.
It will be alright.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I remember you.
I remember the bright lights.
I remember us.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Without a warning
it got colder as night fell.
You pulled me closer.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
We’re under these sheets,
unstirred by the rumbling skies,
tangled up in love.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
It was you I found
in the darkest hours of life.
It was always you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Too often we think
our story doesn’t matter,
too often we’re wrong.
I wrote this haiku on the last day of the World Suicide Prevention Week ‘15. We cannot let this movement stop here. If you (or someone you know) are struggling, please reach out. Get help. Know that you are not alone. Know that there is hope.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Forgive these hands for

needing to hold you always.

They don’t know better.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
What of all this ache?
What of the promises made?
What of this silence?
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
What of the silence

that threatens to consume me?

How do I brave it?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
These lonely bedsheets,
haunted by the reminders
of the love we made.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Let me offer you
my humble gratitude for
saving me always.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Do you remember
the promises that you made?
Will you return home?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I'll never hurt you.
No matter the obstacles,
I’ll stay true to you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With precise purpose
the wind messes up your hair,
finding calm in you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ve wrapped myself in
longing ever since you left.
Please just end this ache.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I will wait right here,
for entire eternity,
to hold you again.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We find the music,
the magic, in the mundane,
if we look for it.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Your hands on my waist,
leading a familiar dance;
your grin matching mine.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With new found friendship
and stomach aching laughter,
we found our hearts full.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We must not forget
to acknowledge the stillness
that lives around us.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Love is love is love.
Don’t ever let anyone
tell you otherwise.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Love asks you to stay.
A while, the night, forever.
Love seeks adventure.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I only ask for
your tender admiration.
I want nothing more.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I am terrified
this heart will forget to beat
if you ever leave.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I want to go back

to when we were one atom

waiting to explode.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I promise I'll learn
to be patient, to be calm.
I won't let you down.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
You silence the shake

and bring the calm that follows,

you save me always.
