Like the Smashing Pumpkins say , the killer in you
is the killer in me

Everyone
somehow , somewhere , someway

Is responsible for causing the death
of someone else

The day we met, my world folded in on itself,

Jasmine wilting in my hair, petals falling like warnings.

You held me like a lifeline, but the ground still opened,

Swallowing me whole before I could learn your name.

Now I want you gone, not just from my skin,

But from the archive of my grief,

Erased from the map of my heart, its borders sealed.
Banned and blocked from all social media.

He kissed her knuckles, a pale benediction,

and left as the monsoon swallowed the sky whole.

Thunder cracked like bones beneath her skin;

her cigarette hissed, an ember fighting the wet.

His letters, damp with ink, bled the lies she read.

How beautiful a smile can be
Why ever did you choose me?
A vast ocean of better men, yet you chose me, the sea

The sea barely clear, yet all you hear
Is a symphony that brings you to tears
One you go to, with all doubts and fears, one that you call home, one you call “Here”

You call yourself a cloud yet you shine over me
Even in bad weather you gleam
How  could someone be so self conscious, when they are the reason I am a being

Even now, barely a being
I become by seeing you
Gibberish to you now yes, but to the future, I couldn't be ever so closer

One day I'll call out your name
And you’ll turn around in tears
I’d have learnt to walk, you’d never be the same
Every fear you have now must feel pathetic in the future


How free you must feel, when you look into my eyes
How clear you head must be when you look into the skies and think of me
A poem I wrote for a good friend for his girlfriend's 22nd.
