I have a broken record
hidden in my closet
and I often play it
whenever unescorted.
The lyrics intimate
the last time we meet
speaks in the manner
you used to flatter.
The music lingers on
like the scent of your shirt
I hold on,
Your love song
keeps me warm
in the dark windy nights.
The nights we forgot
near those bonfire sights.
The sun rises everyday
and it sets all fine
but the fainting rays remind
of the love we had divine.
You cannot escape it.

You wake up,
but don't wanna get up.
Sunshine upsets your sun
getting ready is tiresome.
Breakfast is just formality
you walk up to normalcy.
Meeting people sane
saves from being insane,
you dig your head in work
but everything is mundane.
You slog back to home
to find something lost,
on bed you lie down
like a log of soiled moss.
Perpetuating purpose of life
Am I only breathing
or even it means alive,
wandering conscience,
in the mind reframes.
And you sleep with an aim
Someday I will break this chain.
Downside of a routine life.

Don't tell.
Don't discuss.
Don't share.
Don't make a fuss.
Let your pain in a sus,
deep inside like a pus.
Squeeze it, tweeze it,
pull it out.
Till there is
no left a doubt.
Now show your bandage
like a mettle badge
and write your story
from the scratch.

I know you would have tried
to reach that last person,
whom u thought will never judge you.

I know you would have thought
about your loved ones
to embrace one last time.

I know you would have
remembered your soulmate
you wished to say at least a goodbye.

I know you would have
introspected,
your choices of life,
where it went all wrong.

I know you would have tried
everything you could do.

But I wish you could have tried
a little more to keep up the fight
and not just give up on life
gone suddenly, so undefined.
Sushant Singh Rajput, an actor committed suicide for unknown reasons. He was so connected to the world, we saw only after his demise. For whatever reasons he left this world, hope he is somewhere at peace now.

Lovers are dead
friends are hard to get,
standing on a cross road
you are on your own
It is getting harder to decide
whether to stay behind
or walk alone...

there's a moment, late at night, when the
world has gone to sleep that i sit and think
to myself; what is life like away from here?
where, in this big wide galaxy could i find
happiness? because it's not here, where i am
now. where do i find it? where do i even
start looking?

Em
I have sunsets on my cheeks.
Blushing roses
and pinks.
I have flowers in my hair.
Blooming,
growing with me.
I am a wanderer
around my life.
Navigating
who I am
and who I want to be .
I wonder what
the seed of the maple knew
Before he was told
to be a tree.
