And when Iam gone, it won't make any difference,
No one will remember who I was, or what I did, or what I was,
Like I never existed in the first place.
No one will shed tears,
No one will write poems about me,
No one will immortalize me
And that's how I'll remain, forgotten.
Like a footprint on the beach, erased by the waves.

Wait, just for a while
Don't leave before the sunrise.
See, the sky is calling
It's empty without you by my side.
The days are dull
The nights denser
I've been crying my eyes out,
I don't miss you any lesser.
Just look down at me from above,
Tell me you're doing fine.
Here I'll sit, gazing at the stars
Waiting for you to shine your light.
I miss you, there, I've said it simply
I wish none of this had happened,
And you were still here,
Holding my hand in yours.

If only you could see,
Another sunrise with me,
You'd know how the sky bleeds a different hue,
As if it too, mourns the absence of you.

-

A last smile, for the world to see,
how happy you are to leave,
this world of suffering and trial,
and go back Home to God,
as a tired child.

-

If only you could see
another sunrise with me,
you'd know how the sky
bleeds a different hue
as if it too,
mourns the absence of you.

-

I don't know how to walk
down the memory lane,
without calling out for you,
and searching for your hand
to hold, in the deeper darkness still.
I don't know what to do
now that I no longer have you,
to smile at my smallest step,
learning to walk towards you.
There is so much left for you to
see and do, but you walked away,
from me, from home, towards
the bright light that illuminated
your way.
I don't know whether to search for you,
in the shadows or the darkness in my heart.
I return empty handed everytime I try,
so just hold my hand one last time
and guide me back, for you're not lost,
its I that am.

-

I've tested waters and the only one that actually stays is me.

-

Let's pay an ode to
the stars tonight,
the ones that make
destruction look beautiful.
Let's laugh off our miseries
for the sake of it,
until we're left with
nothing but the bittersweet
ache of nothingness.
Let's drink in the salty tears
until it fills up the ocean
of grief inside us.

Let's not make any more
promises, my dear, for
unkept promises still leave
hope, for them to be fulfilled.
Let's leave everything behind,
and start afresh,
meeting as strangers on this
twilit night.

-

The time is gone,
and you will be too.
You'll leave, like all
the people do.
I won't be able to find
a reason to make you stay,
and eventually, you'll
choose your own way.
Even if I hold on to you tight,
nothing will ever make things right,
for you like watching
the stars unfold,
and I, listening to
the stories, untold.
You believe that life
is just a series of memories, made,
while I just wait long enough
for them to fade.
Life has more
secrets than these pages can tell,
and generally, people don't seem
to understand them well.
So, this time, I'll let you go by,
hoping that you make
an effort to atleast try.
But you, like everyone else,
will choose to leave,
giving me memories
that I'll forever grieve.

-

Letting go doesn't mean you're weak.
It means you were strong enough to hold on, in the first place.

-

We don't write our stories.
It's our stories that write us.
