The sky is busy tonight
looking over the crowd of desperates.
Desperate for affection.
Desperate for loyality.
Desperate for efforts.
Desperate for the bare minimum.
The sky is busy bleeding blues,
calming down the haphazards.
Easing out the pains,
lost somewhere down the forgotten lanes.
Singing the melancholy of happiness,
drowning the eery loneliness.
Sky is busy tonight rhyming the heartbeats,
pushing back the agony in the backseat.

Being stabbed by your words,
made me bleed my laughs and smiles many a times.
Ignoring the scars,
I always gave you an open canvas
to paint your love.
But,
the blood of the wounds,
painting it red and black,
pushed me back to drench in the pain.
The painting was mine though,
but the brush was always held by you.
I had you.
But,
I lost me.
It's time to find the old self back,
and let you go.

Things can not go back to normal after it has been broken, hurt and taken for granted. People realise their mistakes when are suffering but till then it's too late to make up for their deeds. People might still be on talking terms but basically just for the sake of talking. After being through all those phases, you can't bring yourself to be on the best terns with them. You still care for them, but not in the exchange of sacrificing your peace.

उसकी कहानी में मैं बस एक किरदार थी।
किरदार जो बस कुछ समय के लिए
जिवंत होता है और
फिर कहीं ख़ामोशी में गुम हो जाता है।
किरदार जिसका यूँ अचानक गायब हो जाना,
शायद किसी को अज़ीब नहीं लगता।
जिसका अस्तित्व सिर्फ मुख्य किरदार
के महत्व को निखारना होता है।
जिसके हसने का, रोने का
कोई वजूद नहीं होता।
कुछ पल के किरदार में
अपना सब कुछ खो देना शायद उसकी फितरत में है।
कहानी अनवरत चलती रहती है।
बदलते हैं तो बस ये किरदार।

The suffocation of loneliness,
amidst the crowd is something
you can feel inside your chest.
Air getting knocked out,
each time you take a breath.
Surrounded by the people,
you are not comfortable being you,
You want to elope to the sooth.
Yet,
You are stuck with responsibilities.
The gleefully jumping on the bed,
when your favourite song plays,
changed to heavy rock music,
in the lone path to ease your pain.
It becomes difficult to swallow
the thick emotions choking you.
A lone tear escapes your prison,
and you let it go for a while.
Cause you are too tired
to hold the shits together on your own.
And no,
It doesn't make you okay.
But, it becomes bearable.

Ever happened that you are walking down a lane and all of a sudden get a whiff of nostalgic smell. And then, you get drown in the valley of old memories with a stupid smile on your face.

-

Times when you are riding a emotional and mental roller coaster and want to have a break but things are getting piled up one after another. Lot of things are going on in life which are out of your control. You get to a point where you break down into a sobbing mess, wanting to destroy the surroundings, and take out all the frustration you have riled up inside you. But, then you cool down your outburst, wipe your tears off, paste the smile on your face and go back to work.

Some relationships has their pre decided end points.
You both spend all your efforts,
time and memories.
You give them emotional,
as well as mental priority,
sharing most of the day with them.
But, slowly it all comes down.
It's just a phase.
That person might be there,
for few months in your life.
But,
those will be happiest months you had.
You know it will end sometime soon.
And,
you live that phase to the fullest.
You both know,
you might never see each other again
After this in future.
But you are okay with that.
You want to cry,
but the happiness to be with them
overwhelms it.
All you just need is a proper farewell.

-

The time comes when you eventually understand that not everyone is permanent in your life and you start getting okay with that.

मोहोब्बत मुकम्मल न हो, तो एक तरफ़ा ही सही।
ये ज़रूरी तो नहीं की हर दुआ कबूल हो जाए।
