stripped off butterfly stickers
and crumpled posters
were stop signs
but i was blind.

"Sorry"
Powder that "Sorry"
Make it into a paste,
And force it into my mouth.

Now that love cannot walk out of the door,
It decides to fall and weep on the bathroom floor.
I'm here, sobbing.
Locked myself up in the bathroom, as if there wasn't already a lockdown.
You're there, crying,
Wondering how we messed it up, how we let us down.
It's been days since that breakup argument.
The bedsheets are dirty,
The dishes are being ignored since days.
We've been living in the same house as strangers,
Wondering where that 'always'
fainted and died.
My hair smell disgusting.
I go to the bathroom only to sob.
You gaze at nowhere like a stupefied statue,
Your beautiful voice I've robbed.
Now that I know my soul is in a lockdown,
With swollen eyes and sore limbs,
I still force myself to weep and clean
the dishes and linen and painfully rub the floor till I see my bloated reflection in it,
Angry tears wetting everything I clean,
While you just stare with your cold eyes
At the disgusting 'us', as my incessant tears wet the floor,
After all, love cannot walk out of the door.-
