I am living for holidays, to lie on the bed and escape from reality
I don't know anymore which is more frightening overwhelming with feelings or this lack of emotions
i feel like I am empty inside out, just like a vaccant vase.
I don't even see myself in reflection anymore, all I see is someone who stares back with hopeless desperation.

-

No matter what, today always ends,
And there will be better tommorows.

-

With all things going on,
more bitter than sweet,
With colourful teenage life
starting to wear out.

I found both of us,
standing at the end of tunnel,
amidst all the smoke and fire.
Angry scars covering us,
bruises turning blue.

You looked at me
and smiled ruefully ,
I reached for you even
when fire started to burn.

We hold on to each other
with all the memories we have.
And with certainty of having
each others back until end of our time

-

If only I can leave this world ever so gently and subtly,
Leaving all the baggages of hopes and regrets behind.
After bidding farewell to shadows and reflections,
Uncaging my demons to find their own sky.

Feeling the last droplets of rain drenching my skin and soul,
Glowing with dawn and basking in dusk.
Jumping to rain filled puddles and
Inhaling aroma of brewing coffee for one last time.

Following the trails leading to woods and sleeping in shade,
Looming tales of mystery and laughing out loud.
Rocking in the cradle of wilderness
and sleeping at peace for one last time,

If only, i dont have to leave this world all at once...

There i stand with cold emptiness in my mind, freezing my soul in thousand diffrent ways yet still longing for numbness.
I buried myself deep inside to get rid of light and warmth and to sink in the oblivion of unknown existence.

-

The moment I held you, I saw my whole life unwinding before me. I got answers to my pain and prayers, I will go through this a thousand times if it means to reach you.

-

You,me and
this beautiful oblivion.

-

Everything changed since childhood,
only thing remained same was
faded imprints of life we once lived .

Now you are tainting those
memories by replacing your-
Captivating glances with calculated stares;
Carefree laughters with cut short smirks;
hidden gestures with planned actions.

For me, now you are
the vacant house ,
which used to be my home.

She loved mysteries so much that she became one, leaving him alone, to make sense of missing pieces she left behind.

-

May be we meet again someday, when love still abides between these fine lines of hatred.
