my tears formed an ocean
caused by your misfortune
but you could just see
the rain dripping
on her face

if love could say anything
it will demand
answers
from those
who used the name of love
for hurting a heart
where love bloomed

not everyone can see love
smiling in the eyes
it's a trick
given as a treat
to those who dare
to fall in love

they said look at yourself
in the mirror
and when i did
all i saw a girl
who couldn't say no
who was tired of doing
things she couldn't love
who forgot to smile when
she saw the things she liked
the reflection in mirror
was telling a story
she never thought
could be written for her
can she cry now?
she asked
but shook her head
as this society was not going
to give her the privilege
of being her true self

why we hurt and heal
in silence
like it's a must step
we all go through
to proof we are humans

if wait is not worth the
reward
then why humans
die wishing
one day
it will all get better
does that ever get better?

it was only a hug
they said–
but i had
no words
to narrate
how it's warmth
saved my bones from
breaking
