Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I love you, I do.
I have waited a lifetime
just to call you mine.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Burnt Thursday dinners,
rushed Monday morning breakfasts;
I want these with you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We must not forget
to acknowledge the stillness
that lives around 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 Oct 2015
So many sunsets,
as unfinished memories,
spent watching alone.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With precise purpose
the wind messes up your hair,
finding calm in you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
You are not broken
and I don’t need to fix you,
always remember.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Without thinking twice
you saved me from the soundless
I was headed for.
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 Aug 2015
I will give until
I have nothing left in me.
I was born to love.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I don't belong here.
I'd rather be next to you,
not feeling homesick.
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
The bed will hold us,
as we rewrite our story;
make up for lost time.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I think of your eyes
and the tales only they spin.
I think of your smile.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I heard you whisper,
over and over again,
“Will I be enough?”
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
These lonely bedsheets
are calling out to you now,
they're waiting for you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Whenever it’s time,
remember to let them in.
Slowly and softly.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Forgive these hands for

needing to hold you always.

They don’t know better.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
No matter how long
you take to wander back home,
I will wait for you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I've no memory
from before the words began.
They were always there.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Do you remember
the promises that you made?
Will you return home?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Things will settle soon
and it won’t ache anymore.
It will be alright.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I want to go back

to when we were one atom

waiting to explode.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
What of the silence

that threatens to consume me?

How do I brave it?
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
We are more than here,
more than terror and chaos.
We are more than now.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Love is love is love.
Don’t ever let anyone
tell you otherwise.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I am terrified
this heart will forget to beat
if you ever leave.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Take me to your calm,

where this ache does not exist,

end this weariness.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
The warmth doesn’t linger
without you to cut the cold.
Please bring back comfort.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Will we still be us
when all of this is over?
Will you still be here?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We find the music,
the magic, in the mundane,
if we look for it.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me of patience
and let me bathe in your calm.
Breathe life into me.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me forgiveness,
and do it while we make up
for time spent apart.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I remember you.
I remember the bright lights.
I remember us.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We are the stories
we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I heard you giggle,
softly, through the exhaustion.
It settled the ache.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Let me offer you
my humble gratitude for
saving me always.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Love asks you to stay.
A while, the night, forever.
Love seeks adventure.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I’m always looking
for your face in crowded streets,
hoping our paths cross.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
How do I thank you,
for the love you've given me,
for the laughs and smiles?
