I knew we weren’t forever. Somewhere deep down I felt the cracks forming long before the ending came. Still— when you left, it hurt more than I expected, like knowing a storm is coming but still getting caught in the rain. I’m not pretending it was all your fault. I know I made mistakes too, said things wrong, handled things badly, let distance grow where love should’ve been louder. But what I keep asking myself is— why didn’t you stay? Why didn’t you try to fix the broken pieces with me? Why didn’t you wait long enough for us to figure it out? Love isn’t perfect. It bends, it stumbles, it asks people to hold on even when things feel messy. I knew we might not last. But I thought if we both cared enough, you’d stay a little longer and try to make it work instead of letting go when it got hard. So now I sit with the ending, knowing I wasn’t blameless— but still wondering if things would be different if you had chosen to fight for us too.

Why?
She wasn't particularly pretty, Just a plain, average girl in high school. She wasn't particularly brilliant, Though no one would call her a fool. She wasn't very athletic, Preferring to sit in the shade. She wasn't very artistic; Her drawings were all left unpraised. But she wasn't going to block out the cry: That though childhood may have been tough, She must stop defining herself by her "wasn't", And learn, what she was, was enough.

She Wasn't
Like a shadow in the night you arrived Promised to make my every dream As if upon angel's wings You were there to comfort me and light my heart agleam Like a bugle call you rang in my head My inner consciousness booming with delight The searing flames got to me And annihilated anything that might Like a shooting star you flashed into my life Bringing light and with you a sense of alleviation But when the sun then rose upon the hills You made me regret falling for apparitions

What Never Wasn't
I've been knocked to the ground And blamed for falling

Blame
She loved me And will love me So for ever. I pictured her, There in her room As she spoke, Looked now at the dress, At the veil She was to wear tomorrow, Then turned away. If I had known The last gift I’d give to her Would be a white doe, I’d have given her more. She did not smile, She cried. I do but speak the truth, If you will have it. Will you want Such an old story? She died in my arms And nobody ever knew She died before tomorrow.

Before Tomorrow
I wasn't expecting to fall for you But one day you looked at me and I forget how to think I looked into your eyes and saw everything I ever wanted And that's when I knew I would love you for a long time

it wasn't me
she wore her sadness like a cape,                                                             her audacity like a veil. she knew that in his eyes,                                                             she'd never be his grail. so she spun her crown of misery                                                             and disassembled her throne, and went in search of herself                                                             for her new heart is her home. and to this day she's never looked behind;                                                             he is simply a part of her past. because now she knows when things are wrong,                                                             they are never built to last.

goodbye
Thought that It was easy To make a Start Thought that It was easy To say Goodbye Thought that It was easy To obey and To listen Thought that It was easy To only lie and Fake everything It wasn't Wasn't like what They said Everything was Unpredictable Unexpected

My Mantra
Is that a game? no, art. i remember the first time I talked to you i knew you were a blogger or something... yah!... you guessed right. our first lines now I know more... more, more you do not eat cake which I could never relate too you do not eat pizza that can be okay.... you studied a stranger kind of medicine the kind a twisted mind holds onto you walked away from it you like complexity simple and routine is boring for you you can afford to junk only once a year you talk about your child with less emotion you ask questions not because you need the answer but you want to know that the other party wants the same thing you want people to tell you what they want only because somehow you expect them to say... they want you... you pull away when they don't. you are complex you reach out and pull back at the same time there is a part of you that wants to be chased. or wants to tell someone simple i'm not interested. you smile in between kisses. you make actual conversation not the kind that says I do not want to know you are confusing you are not forgettable though..... so..... what do you want.... happiness....good people.. what do you want.... NOTHING! probably our last lines.

strange lines
dark night. The wind is slow but surely present. Somehow we dont feel it, atleast I donot. my porch we are starting on. look up the stars are beautiful. pull me close i'll lean on your shoulder. wait for this moment. lean deeper its happening. Tonight, the happiest person in the world. Is my best because on dark nights like these. stories begin, or a story begins. maybe.... began

Dark night
He always said I was a mystery. Like reading a murderous book. Who is the killer? Well, it was him. He tore my heart apart with out even knowing he held it in his hands. I bet he didn't know he was my world. That when he laughed I laughed harder, when he was sad he was a tornado and I was the city. I held onto his hand like it was hope. The tears in his eyes were just a facade. He was a comedian I was the joke. But, I still wobble behind you. Hoping you look back. But, you never did.
