My fight is against you,
You are my reward too.
Just tell me how do I lose this battle
And how do I win it too?

THE END

I sat there transfixed,
90s songs played on loop.

Kaleidoscope of memories flashed,
Vehicles zoomed past.
Birds chirped around,
Branches swung about
Eyes began to well up,
Heart aches.

Pain is satisfying.
Pain is gratifying.
This was a goodbye I didn't wish.
This is a poem I don't want to end.

I sit there until it dawned upon me,
This was 'The End'.

Life is but a few moments,
A stroke of feelings and a dash of luck.
Imprisoned in our bodies,
Here selfishness is the norm.

The happiness of having less
Not having to worry about any cess.
Nor rushing to courts for case
And not having the media to face.
The happiness of having less
Don't have to face any press,
Or worry about the way to dress,
Always have a family to caress.
The happiness of having less.

You are advised to settle down.
How about you unsettle with me?
As we rush towards a better tomorrow.
In the hustle of life
A quick kiss,
A haphazard text,
And an unplanned sleepover.
Come unsettle with me.
Come unsettle with me.

Sunrise:
A stream of crimson rays into my bedroom
shares my hope about us
It leads the way
Every day
Abhors me to leave my fears behind
Tells me to believe with all my mind.
I make the best of the day,
That patch of insecurity
Is back by Sunset.

THE ANATOMY OF A HEARTBREAK

I have figured out how.
The walls have my back,
The cupboards my snack.
The bedroom is my permanent address,
It doesn't even mind my mess.
The doors don't let me out,
It roots for the virus's rout.
The window's sights are serene,
The air has never been this clean.
The ceiling listens to my tales,
And consoles my silent wails.
Truly the house feels like a friend now.

The humming of solitude
comes from within.
The onset of loneliness
invisible from the outside.
Insecurity creeps in
Much like the pests
Set out to seek answers
bereft of the realisation
that it always laid within.

Locked up were our memories.

You destroyed them from the memory card,
But what about my heart?
