#loveandpain
Love, time, life— all heavy things to hold inside one fragile heart. We spend our days searching through people, through kisses, through pain, through the dark beneath ourselves; hoping some beautiful soul will finally make the emptiness feel less empty. And maybe that’s why the mind never rests— thoughts chasing dreams, dreams chasing peace, tears & hope sleep beside each other every night. Still— despite broken moments, cold silence, and all the weight we carry, we keep growing toward light like human beings were made to survive by feeling deeply.

Heavy Things to Hold
You took my wedding day away from me. Even though you have forgotten about me I have never forgotten about you. Someone has even taken your place And I'm torn in two Because he was always there When you never were. He is the rightful owner of the title But **** my heart I can't bring myself to hurt you In the same way that you have hurt me. When I think about that special day In the future I feel a pain because Although I know who deserves to walk me down the aisle I can't imagine having you just sit off to the side Feeling horrible because you never lived up to who you were supposed to be for me I'm a fool It should be easy But every time, Every time I think about that day Instead of feeling joy I just feel pain and heart ache. So I have decided, I won't ever have one. It's hard to choose between the one that loves you with a fullness in their heart Versus the one who could never love with depth even though they are blood. You took that day from me. I don't want to break your heart Even though you so easily broke mine. At the end of the day, He is my dad through and through But there was a time that I remembered where you were once my dad too. Now I see Princesses grow up And fairy tales were never real. You taught me that. And you took my wedding day away from me.

You took it away.
millions of red threads and yet the one that holds significance tied around the little finger, hooking me to you. _the red string theory—_ fragile, probably a lie, but doesn't it make you cherry?   glitter on my hands, i'm no angel but i leave behind what i couldn't mend. it sparkles, everywhere i hold you close— skin placid, hissing almost under touch. throw glances, lips curving to a smile, you're enchanting, flickering alive.   _what can i help with?_ give away all i breathe, i'll hand over all my pills, stop injecting myself with words i can't speak, pause inflicting pain upon scars that you won't ever seek.   dim lightning, darkened horizons, drugged-up eyes, seeing through the glimmer. my vision fades every time the needle pierces— through my skin, i feel it pulsing, leaving behind the sensation that slowly dulls away everything. heaven and back, while rotting on the same couch, i breathe in the smoke, ashes turning grey. my hair sticks to my skin as i sweat through the blaze.   rehab never taught me how to exist. being so undone, the remedy is sick. prescriptions changing, seldom any constants. syringes filled with all that remains far from legal— they call them drugs, is love any far behind in evil?   the kind of touch that leaves traces once it's gone, hallucinations scripting out desires and thoughts and scenes that couldn't become. withdrawal makes me crawl, no cure that could stop this spiral. once the highs have been lived through, the crash arrives as an aching breakthrough.   i cry in gemstones that rest in the corners of my eyes— sitting, waiting, you can't detach them. they strain towards permanence every time i sigh.   the back of the cab is filled with the blazing neons, and it drifts through the street laced in LEDs and glistening homes. i've got a pink heart vision, the glasses leaving me to see stars on every face that carries even the slightest seed of doubt— anxiety etched to the masses, they still envision.   i despise you've brought me back to this feeling— the one i ran from, escaped, returned only to attach. got me doing, fawning, sniffing white powder turning black.   my phone screen blips, lightning up, the name repeating as i listen to the night come alive. i'm too high, way too high to reply. i tell you i was sleeping, forgive me for my disguise.   cheap—cheap _cheap._ i overdosed the wrong kind.   i look down at the bill, see the name that wasn't meant to stay in the will. the wrong wrong _wrong_ addiction. you failed me, cursed me, broke me— it's my turn to accept this affliction.   shouldn't have—should have. don't regret—all i do is regret. ended, stopped, relapsed—now it's all _red._ the stick in white in between my fingers, lit at the end, vapour rising to the flimsy night air. i sit on the sidewalk, watch the vehicles pass— too dazed to care. i'll stop existing, leaving no traces. this shirt doing much less to stop the cold as it caresses my skin, blankets the wounds, takes away all that i fear. i shall move, get up, throw away the burnt-out **** walk away, the bottoms of my converses heading down the road to nowhere.   you won't even bother to map out the path. i just know, the cruelty and the false lies have long since encompassed you whole. see what i am, but you are way beyond my control.

कसं सांगू तुला, मनात काय चाललंय ज्वालामुखीचा उद्रेक झालाय, सारं आभाळ फुटलंय भावना पुरात गेल्यात वाहून, प्रेमाचा पडलाय दुष्काळ द्वेषाच्या वादळाच्या थैमानाने, दुःखाचा पडलाय सुकाळ तू नाकारून मला, खूप मोठी चूक केलीस माझ्या प्रेमाच्या चिंध्या करून, तू निघून गेलीस दुःखाच्या वादळाचा झटका, नक्कीच बसेल तुला आयुष्यात द्वेषाच्या सुनामीनंतर, प्रेमाचं महत्त्व कळेल तुला

प्रेमाचा दुष्काळ
Love wasn’t soft with us. It was claws and knives, a hunger in your eyes that bled every time we touched. You whispered sweet lies but I heard the truth— your love was a shadow waiting to swallow me whole. I didn’t leave. I let you carve your name into my skin because I believed that if I bled enough, you’d finally be real. But love, like ****** always leaves evidence. And now, I can’t erase the bloodstains of you from my heart.

The blade of desire
a beautiful smile penetrated my blunt heart; the pain felt knifelike.

the smile, and the pain.
The weight of your words.. Keep me up at night... You point, The edges of your fingers cut sharper than any knife, Slicing the space we used to fill with laughter and light. Your hands are inert, Hungry for heat, Yet instead of reaching, they hover, Like ghosts in a room where warmth has fled. Each sigh, a boulder, That drops into the stillness and Unfurls like tangled weeds, Choking the garden of us. I wonder, do you think love flourishes in the shadows of blame? Do you think it's fruits bloom where bitterness breathes like an old memory? Yet, here I remain — rooted, Waiting for you to look up, To step out of the darkness, To meet me, halfway.. In that golden sliver of effort, Where silence can wrap us in a cradle, A refuge, Not a battlefield. The weight of your words.. Keep me up at night... But the hope in my heart... Give me just enough to stay another day. -realness and rhyme x Nachii

If you seek a love, That sits neatly, pressed smooth as linen, I cannot give you that, Because true love - is wild. It is as untamed as fire, And it dances with the wind. It is a patchwork of wounds, Broken promises, mistakes and dreams, It is heavy with the weight of unspoken things. It is silent sighs stitched together in laughter, And tears like summer storms on cracked pavements. Its is daunting daydreams and many sleepless nights woven into one another. And yes, our hearts will stumble, And fumble through shadows, Reaching for fragments of warmth and familiarity, Trying to carve paths to the past through the dark, And though the fabric frays like an old story, It’s there, in the seams, Where we discover a strength, Raw and real colors that run but never fade, And at the end, It’s in that flaw that makes love a beautiful mess, Its own wild masterpiece. So if you see fit let us embrace, The snags and tears, Treating each thread as a testament to our journey unfurling. Where there is chaos, There lies the heartbeat, Each pulse promising that we are alive. And in that sacred noise, we find the truth, Cracked open and brilliant, A symphony of us.... -realness and rhyme

Love's Untamed Fabric
I want to see you I want to talk to you I want to kiss you I want to hug you I want to smell your scent I want to bite you I want to feel your touch I want to run my fingers around your neck like I'm craving for you I want to hear you breathe I want to be with you I want you and I need you in my life I need you not because I can't live withouth you but because YOU make me HAPPIER I wish I could be the one.
