We fight nightly.
Kiss like deadlines.
Therapy can wait.

-

Vast, burning and fleeting
like holding an eternity for a moment
that never promised to stay.

-

knowing everyone else is suffering too.

-

proving even soft ropes
can leave the deepest marks.

-

Woke up early to be productive.
Took a nap to recover from that thought.
Now it's Monday's problem.

-

hard work stopped paying off but you're still on the payroll of disappointment.

-

hard work stopped paying off by the time you rolled in with coffee.

-

you realize adult life is one long group project where nobody knows what they're doing.

-

you hear a tamil version of your favourite old bollywood song and it also sounds great.

-

you see someone walking on the floor freshly moped by you.
