YOU

You held it back, calming down your soul and finally ceased the war inside. The dark void consumed you. Now, you are just a hollow plastic, painted happy face- revealing no emotions. 

You drained yourself into your anger and changed your path, towering it with all those materialistic happiness. Now, you have designed all this emptiness around you like its your home. 

You created this huge wall of “self centered” and wondered why love does not exist into your world. Now, You just stare the person inside the mirror and ask why that never smiles back. 

You wrapped yourself in a blanket of fantasy, comforted in shadows of lies and walked out with dishonesty. Now, You are those patterns of paradox that cant be understood with truth.

You marked scars around yourself and plastered your soul with sadness. You send her crashing down to the cold wet floor. Now, you are the broken sharp edges that invaded your iced soul. 

You loved writing and used to paint your paper with all those beautiful word describing love. Now, your life is just a blank sheet with empty pages.

I glanced at my wrist watch, It was 7:10am and he was already 10 minutes late. My heart bumped with every second that passed in that cold winter morning. Even it was the coldest day of winter, the sun was bright in the sky, bringing joy to my heart.  Even the coldness upon my face was refreshing and my body felt cozy inside that warm red coat that he gifted me.  After a while, I saw him walking towards me. The winter wind howled through the desolate marsh and bit at his frozen skin. The world seemed to lie barren and lifeless before him. Ice had gently put blankets on the sidewalks that he walked on.  My face glowed with smile. When I saw him, I fell in love all at a once. I felt like I was on the top of the world and my heart was constricted and there was no oxygen in my lungs.  I was breathing heavily in nervousness. His dark hair furled down the nape of his neck, while his fringe covered the entire right side of his face, going a little past his jaw line.  H

Self Love ♥️

                           Time sailed and its been almost a year, right? I know that pretty much things swapped this past year, You! Me! and that universe we created. I know that there is no reason to bleed out these words for you. But, I just want to cascade this heaviness that I am carrying inside, since long.  I want to take this moment out, to thank you. Thank you for all that rough and tousled days you gave me because in this journey from hating me and then loving me, I found my inner self.  After you left, things went pretty bizarre. I was slowly breaking down and tearing apart. My heart that once laughed became hollow and my smile that had been so quick was then only a mask to protect myself from questions related to you. You kicked out all those feelings but I still tried to fix them and tried to keep them safe. You made me skeptical about people and love.  When you left, I was left with two options: Either to block every connections with you and move on or th

Growing old with you ♥️

We were celebrating their 65th marriage anniversary in a hospital room of oncology ward. The room was filled with devoid of sadness and anguish, the wall were simply creamy and the floor was grey in color. At the far end were windows in brown metal frames. There were stands for intravenous drips and monitors. The room had a stagnant smell.  And there he was, laid down on that bed. His eyes were closed, matching his breaths to the beeping of the machines that surrounded the bed; the only indication of his heartbeat and his existence. His skin looked so fragile that it felt like it would ruptures on anything more than the softness of her touch. He slowly opened his eye which was not focused but randomly moving, obscured with cataracts. His hair was wispy over a scalp. Needles were pricked into his skin to deliver nutrition to his body. Morphines were rushed into his vein to give him pain-free moment with her.  She had rest her hand on his, feeling the coldness in his fingers.
