The paths that have crossed
To the friends who proved
My worth is greater than
The strangers we held once
Memories that strain
For the eyes that swell
The smiles we shared
To the pain we dealt
Like the cards
Stacked against us
To the bliss we felt
In his arms she melt
The paths we chose
It was a blessing
To be taken away
Like the rose
That wasn't watered
I'm grateful to have loved
There is no right people
Wrong time
Just choices

But she forgot
He too needed the same love
She received
May be she needed it more

We met
Like a Samaritan
But
Etched in my heart
And my right triceps
If ever needed
This proof of no regret
Only to be strangers again

The chain of thought
Doesn’t seem to break
And streetlights doesn’t seem to fade
And the pills wouldn’t take.
The broken clock
Adorns the floor,
The faintest whisper
Seems like a knock on the door,

Ubiquitous anxiety
Plays a tug of war
With my cousin of death,
The stares at the ceiling
Grow heavy with each breath,
The page lends a shoulder
The pen a helping hand,
The highway traffic finds its way
To my ear,
And its only darkness I befriend.

Take this kiss on the forehead
Far way, gone and dead
This is the prelude to the end
My loving friend
As sands of hope
Battling broke
Escape through my clenched fist
Staring back through mirror and mist
Vows of Forevermore

In your love's embrace,
My soul finds its grace.
Without you, I'm adrift,
Your presence, my life's gift
Intertwined with my core
Closer than a kin
The touch of your flawless skin
Tattooed on my finger tips
The taste of your lips
Linger on mine
Our souls aligned
Yearning for a dream fulfilled
Many a wish killed
My heart at the behest of your smile
To see you for a minute, I would walk a mile
How perfectly your hand fits in mine
Beyond the relationships that can be defined
We found us
You are mine and I'm yours
In a way that
Only we know

Staring at the phone for hours
Searching for nothing
But it helps
When you are tired of staring at the ceiling
And the chain of thoughts
I continue to chase
There are people in the other room
That I don't want to face
Tossing and turning covered in a shroud
Knowing very well that's not what I'm about
It's like you are lost in the crowd
The ones you knew have waved goodbye
Makes you think
Is this what you want out of life?
Nothing more to pretend
The night is about to end
But she's leaves with a cloak of gloom
Ubiquitous anxiety fills the room
Like the ghosts of disappointments past,
The peeking lights left me aghast,
Cowered,
It's only darkness I devoured.

The night
My only friend

The chain of thought
Doesn’t seem to break
And streetlights doesn’t seem to fade
And the pills wouldn’t take.
The broken clock
Adorns the floor,
The faintest whisper
Seems like a knock on the door,

Ubiquitous anxiety
Plays a tug of war
With my cousin of death,
The stares at the ceiling
Grow heavy with each breath,
The page lends a shoulder
The pen a helping hand,
The highway traffic finds its way
To my ear,
And its only darkness I befriend.

In inspiration
And in heart break
Through my only intake
And my only vent
When I am hell bent
My only weeping friend
My pillow talk
To me pep talk
In walks
Of solitude
And in gratitude
For my good mourning
And my without warning
In my tribute
And my praise
In adolescence and age
In my deluge
And refuge
My constant companion
Thank you
Dear music

Every friend that I lost
Ever lesson I learnt
Every failure I fought
Every night I felt tossed

Are like medals earned
In the form of
Scar tissue
