My greatest lesson Learnt
You were mine until you
Weren't
            
It was you that taught me so
The grace of letting go

The time we had was no more
At least when I left
We weren't too sore.

Your tongue spits envy

But I'm happy as I am

Go ahead; hate me
I'm a sucker for Haikus

Someone asked me to define madness
And I instantly thought
Of you

It's a big reminder in life to shut the **** up
And try your best to be happy
When you've started attending
More funerals than weddings

Yes. Valentine's Day is just like any other day
No. it does not make it any less special
I will not look at the couples and curse their PDA
I will see the chocolate and flowers and smile
I will not roll my eyes at the teddy bears for sale sign
I may even third wheel for a while

Today is meant to recognize happiness in pairs
Not to degrade national singles because who really cares?

I don't need a man to keep me busy- I mean happy
I don't need chocolates to feel loved
It's beautiful to have someone beside you
But my best friend is already enough
when you see me without my flowers
I plan on picking my own
Don't judge my date with Netflix
Because if you love yourself enough
You'll almost never feel alone

You get what you give
And you give what you get
We curse all that is wicked
Yet we are our own threat

Feel the world inside you
We shape our every day
Better your intentions
And watch what you say

Karmas a *****
But at least she plays fair
The universe is in you
Beyond your mask

Bare.

Deep down I already knew your answer

But for some reason

I still wanted to hear you say it

And with every moment passed

I could feel my heart sinking and lower to my stomach
