जिंदगी गले लगा ले
तुमको अगर किसी ने दिया है धोखा
तो तुम फिर क्यों दे रहे हो उसे मौका

-

my heart was clever
enough.
to let you go.
but too dumb.
to hold my pieces together.

/and this is how we live.

-

a broken heart
knows the reason,
a cracked heart
knows the pain..

/priorities.

-

just because i don't react doesn't mean i don't feel,
this world is too unapologetic for the sustained emotions..

-

that was a scream,
sometimes. it takes silence.
to infiltrate some h e a r t s..

-

life seems beautiful,
from the day you realise
majority of people come in our life
to depart, rather being here with us..

-

Dissolving life into my tears,
I filtered away all your memories..

-

definitions may vary
but emotions remain the same
just as
people may vary
but parting away remains the same.

-

in mathematics
full of maxima and minima,
i want to be your point of inflexion..

//mirror

when i look at you
sad. diminished.
out of my sight. delight.
and when i look at people.
happy. magnified.
into my sight. disappointed.
i judge everytime.
it's you. the mirror on my wall.
who helped me.
when i was struggling.
with myself. my identity.
you showed me the face.
told me my worth. in my eyes.
and now. where world is full of lies.
you are standing here. between
me and my demise.
