sipping chai and holding hands
under the same sky, now in two terraces.

....above me, there's loneliness that tastes
like tenderness that doesn't eat at my soul.
Atleast, not today....

remembering the places you touched me
feels like a defamation I gift me,
to know I've been licked by a guy of the cosmos
who couldn't survive my heart being a black hole.

you don't slay your demons
because you're afraid they'll end you,
you kill your demons because
you're afraid they'll end you before you do.
