Love is not about being there
Only in dire straits
It's about being there
In every day happenings
The joys and sorrows
The insecurities and insults
In giving a listening ear
Even to mundane things
It's about sharing and caring
About even the small brick bats
The thorns and roses
That life throws at us.

-

Letting go of toxicity
Poisoning your life
Into an oxygenated greenery.

-

Have you grown as a person
Mentally and spiritually
Or are you stuck in the rut
Stagnated and stunted.

-

You say you didn't write the exam well and score 85 percentage.

-

you don't respond to my apology for a whole day and say you were busy

-

So close in distance,
yet so apart in mind
Fights, misunderstandings
accusations, gas lighting
Making the one guilty
Who has gone lengths
To support and be there
Under all circumstances.
Relationships! they neither
Let you live nor let you die
Caught in crossfires
We lose our direction
Until we realise
That we're not the doer
There's someone above
Who is the director
Making people act
the way they do.
With that knowledge
Forgiveness becomes easy
Expectations reduce
Making life more peaceful.

-

one knows that, not forgiving
hurts oneself more
than hurting the other.
It's an utter waste of energy,
holding grudges and letting life
pass away, with unwanted hatred.
It's like punishing oneself
for another's mistake.

-

I was shattered and numb
Nothing seemed to matter
any more
The world around me died
I stopped caring about people around.
Hurting and ignoring the ones
who nurtured me
and stood by me always.
I became selfish, thinking only
about my feelings,
not about the ones who loved me.
I loathed myself for behaving this way.
I hated the way you turned me
into someone I was not.

-

The predictable




the unpredictable.

-

Gone forever bodily
But never ever
From my heart.
