My Blueberry Lipbalm
Nishat AK Feb 2017
In my dream last night
you let me know it's not coming back
In my dream last night
I saw a bag full of lip balms
But I still looked for
the one I had
The one I lost
The one that might come back
But still not coming back
Bare it stays,my chapped lips
Oh my blueberry lip balm
May you never forget
the touch of my finger tips.

Unwanted Lover
Nishat AK Feb 2017
Demise of a sweet friendship

You're still stuck living in pretense

I gave you many chances , for the hope that you'd change


I left you alone a thousand times before
  And again for the very same reason
I'll do the same one more time

Oh only if you could love me a little less as a lover
I would've kept this friendship alive

I'll stop running from myself
When I stop ending up running into myself
When dream was the only escape, now that it's become a trap,
What do I rely on?

I don't want to find myself everywhere I go
Please tell it to follow me not
with its mind filled with vicious thoughts

Thoughts that crumble me
Purple flashes of anger
It's just the sky rumbling


Will you ever come,
pick up the scattered pieces?
And squeeze it all back into the places,

With the embrace I yearn for?




You, the mystery I loved.

You, the treasure I lost.

Amnesiac
Nishat AK Jun 2022
Over the years I have managed to forget a lot of things
Forgetting things has become a habit now..

However, some pain
I have carried for so long
That it’s embedded in the layers of my flesh and bone

It’s like living in a house made of wood
But the wood is rotten and it's reeking
Of distant memories


It’s like living in a dream
Fleeting glimpses
From unknown sources

Helplessly looking at familiar faces
No words ever come out of our mouths
We stare at each other, sometimes with a smile
Then we sigh, and we look away

Still, sometimes you just can’t help but feel lucky to be alive



It’s a strange feeling
The ocean visits me in my dreams
The only uninvited guest that can bring so much joy

But when I visit the ocean
I get overwhelmed by the vastness of it
It has the power to devour the earth anytime



The wait … is what kills me
Nothing ever happens
I break, I shatter
I crumble, I collapse.

I’m made again
Only suffer

— The End —
