So much time has passed
Yet so little life has been lived
Oh how life's changed to now

Meera
you inhale tragedies
and exhale poetry
From where do you get your perseverance?
I went back and forth
up and down

suddenly I was nowhere to be seen
not even for myself
I have a garden
on a windy city

it has sunny days for weeks
and stormy nights for months

my plants overheat under the sunlight
and drown everytime the clouds cry

the flowers have scorched petals
and the weeds grows and settle

of some flowers I still take care
but there's dead plants that I could never have back
i love poetry
unto
death or till
the watch
stops ticking

which ever comes

last.
I can wait
what it is to come
I don't know
but I will stay

all this pain
one day will go away
it's ok to cry today
tommorrow it's a new chance

in tears I stand
even if my bones break
they may take me for weak
but this is the bravest I've been
once, on my birthday,
my lover gave me a flower
that looked just like me
besides having the same name
our moods were the same

whenever I was happy
she showed different colors
and countless flowers
grew between its leaves
from the stems

so once, on my unprepared heart, straight and narrow,
my lover gave me sorrow
I was feeling blue
while the flower would just innocently bloom

I sat next to her, weeping away
and between hiccups I said
"if you knew what kind of love you came from
would you bloom that way?"
This was in my drafts since 2017, I felt so emotional reading it now
