What I carry into 2025 with me
Is an empty promise
For a better tomorrow
A fading legacy for those left behind
With this new year, I welcome
New grief and new reasons
To hide away from people
Who can only hurt and nothing more

-

I am homesick for a home that doesn't yet exist
An idea of a place at the back of my head
that hasn't really formed in its entirety ,
As I hear the key turning in the lock,
I can almost picture a corner
My corner of the drawing room
Where I lie down and relax
With the warm lamp light on
And the cool evening breeze
Making its way through the balcony
The worries and the tension
Fading away as I doze off
Into the cushioned arms of peace

-

Why do I feel
That we didn't say anything
When we said everything
Why does something
Doesn't feel right,
Almost out of place
When my eyes were
All over your pretty face

-

At the end of the day
I want to crawl back
Into your arms where
The anger, the fights
Vanish into thin air

-

Tell me how much further
Are we supposed to let in
For too less is too distant
And too much, too close

-

September passed away
In a blink of an eye
Amidst your lazy laughs
And the video calls
Like a breath of
Fresh air on a stormy day

-

Loud laughs and notebooks

-

Looks for reasons to run away
To the darker times
To the rainy days,
To moments in time
I buried away
To remind myself
Of my hurting self
Yet you wake me up
From this never ending conundrum

-

the day you decided not to be

She looks back and hears
What is now an echo
In the back of her mind
Of a promise of forever
A forever , she left behind
Her world, which was once his
