UNREFINED.

When you are the only one awake in the room, hearing your own breath rise and fall like wavering winds; When peaceful sleep becomes too much to wish for, And you try to muffle your worries under the pillow; When you feel time vanish as the night grows old, And each beat of your heart is a count down to doom; You realise that sleepless nights are just a part of the price you’ve paid for your sins.

YOUR MISS.

You look at me Like I’m a Bubble floating Through thin air, Set to burst At the caress Of a small disturbance. You talk to me as if You’ve seen words Cut through me Like hot knife on butter. You feel the need To protect me With all you’ve got Like mother bird Around its helpless Hatchling. I don’t blame Your intentions They come from A good place But dear, I’m no bubble. I’m the wind Gently brushing Through your Garden today. I may blow away Your roof tomorrow. I’m not butter. I’m poisoned honey Sweet to taste Though I’ll erode Your guts as I flow. I’m not your baby bird, I’m a phoenix I’ll burn you as I Revive and glow. You approach me With shields When I’m asking For flowers. Protection isn’t my need, Endearment is. You don’t seem to Find the difference And that’s your miss.

She is

Battling

In

A war,

She was

Never

Prepared for.

Is

She

Bound

To

Lose?

The reason:

I constantly

Put salt

On the

wounds,

You gave

me.

You Left traces Of truth, While trying To make me, Believe your Lies.

The way you illuminated the room With your striking vibrance annoyed me The same way a beam of sunlight falling On my sleepy eyes, through the blinds, did. Because I was in love with darkness and Silence for they promised permanence While lights flickered with changing colours And familiar voices faltered with uncertainty. I thought you, too, with all your luminance Would disappear like a shooting star, Gone before hearing my many wishes, But you were here till my very last word. I never liked sunny sky and I didn’t like you But that didn’t stop me from loving you.
