She was so strong
Yet so weak
Her head full of chaos
But afraid to speak
She looked like the moon
Calm and perfectly born
But who knew
Inside her, lay a storm
She longed for someone
Who’d put her volcanoes to rest
To anchor her emotions
During moments of unrest
She believed in no one, but herself
For everyone she trusted
Had given her their betrayal best
After all the treachery
She was left with nothing but pain
But all she longed for
Was to love and trust again!
She was betrayed by everyone she loved. Yet she longed to love again. For all she knew there were others like her, who were wounded and were afraid to love too. But as they say, love conquers all fears, here she was, waiting for someone who'd kiss her wounds and make her come alive again!

Someday when you sit alone,
Looking back at memories, forlorn
You will realize what it is
To be standing when your other half is already gone

You will know what it is
To write letters pondering all your feelings
But when they go unreplied, unread
You will know how it makes you sad

You will feel the pain
When night turns to morning
And morning to nights
When your calls go unanswered
And when texts fetch no replies

When your tears go in vain
When your heart aches so much
That you physically feel the pain

When breathing turns to gasps
When you wake up to mornings, pillow-stained

Not forgetting what you’ll feel
When you’ll wait for hours
Just to catch my glimpse
And I’d be occupied
Just like you, right now are,
my love
While you look so longingly at the closed door
While you wait for me to come back
I’ll be happy then
In someone else’s arms
Who won my heart with a thousand efforts
When you were gone!
Someday you'll know what it is to have lost someone who's asked for nothing but your love.

“I love you”
“I loved you too”

“I’m here to stay”
“But you walked away”

“I accept, I bow”
“I’m sorry but I have to go”

“You can’t be going”
“I was tired of waiting”

“But I have come back”
“Sorry I have changed my track”

“You said you’d die without me”
“I did. When you left me“

“I need a chance. A last one. Take me back”
“We are in different worlds.
You, 10 feet above the ground
And me, 10 feet down”

“I’m sorry, I’m late”
“It’s right when they say, you can’t really fight fate”
If only people appreciated what they have before they lost it.

She loved the cracks
The broken parts
She loved to heal,
To mend the broken hearts
She loved to speak
Words, and the unspoken ones
She loved to explore
The hidden parts of your broken soul
And she would fondly kiss
Your bruises and scars
While you looked behind repenting your past
She thanked him, to help heal another, in her heart
She was the girl who'd burn herself to see you shine, the star that would fall so that you could make a wish. She was the girl who lifted people up everytime they fell. She was the one who'd kiss your scars and who'd spread light in the darkest parts of your life....

My past has seen lot of devils
That often rise
To pull me down
They hold me like invisible chains
Binding me, weighing me down
They come like ghosts
That rise from graves
The lost ones
That disappeared to never be found
And as much I try to push them back
They pull me deeper into the tunnels so black
And as much i try to resist and restrain
All my struggles go in vain
So here I am finally giving up
Sometimes lost in the dungeons of my past....
When the ghosts of your past come calling by, you either lose yourself or rise

What love leaves behind
When it walks away
Leaving u speechless
When u have so much to say
Scars, memories and tears
Fresh wounds and fears
So many questions
With answers to none
Abandonment and isolation
Hollowness and betrayal
Every time u go back to those promises made
You'll feel the colours fade
But i promise it won't last long
And when love visits u again
It will be strong
Washing away all your pain
When love goes away, it leaves behind so many memories that you can't seem to get over them. Everything seems so difficult and impossible.

My heart aches
For everything you gave me
For everything you took away
I seek no revenge
For, in revenge lies no love
But it hurts to see you walk away
Knowing that we'll never meet again
If I'd known it was the last time I held you
Or that I'd never see you again
I wouldn't let go so easily
For, in those memories lies the pain
I don't crave for what you have become
I crave for what you were
The angelic smile
The eyes that spoke no lies
The heart full of warmth
The embrace so long
But then again
My cravings are so unrealistic
Coz what I long
Is forever gone....
We often continue to love people even after they are gone from our lives. We hold on to the shared memories, unable to let go. Quite often we don't even realize that we are in love with the memories and not the person, anymore!
