Running out of time.
Gulishta Dec 2017
I'm running out of time,
I have to make a life ,starting from a dime.
I don't know how it came to this!
I was living in an oblivious bliss.

My life is hanging from a thread.
I can't even take it as a threat.
They say it's all for the best.
But my mind can't seems to understand.

I'm struggling everyday to make something stand.
I'm trying to control it,
But it keeps getting out my hand.

This flame of the desire that burning inside,
Oh how much more should I have to sacrifice? .
I want something, but life keeps getting in between .
It's such a mess,I want a blank screen.

I wanna write on it.
Make something beautiful.
But why there are always other obligations? 
That I must fulfill.

Be my friend.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I was high on your love.
But the reality sobered me up.
I was floating on the cloud nine.
Then I realised that you'll never be mine.

But I'm okay! !..I've accepted it.
That sometimes that just it.
This thing between you and me.
I'm gonna behold and cherish it.

I promise to be your sacred place.
Where you can be anything you want.
I promise to be always there for you.
No matter what it is that you want.
Just be my friend,
Trust me we're gonna have a blast.

No us!.
Gulishta Nov 2017
What do you actually think?,
When you think about me.
What do you actually see me as?
If there isn't any us.

Do you actually care about me?
If we are just you and me.
Do you care that I care for you?
Or you just want me want you.

You want me to care.
But your mind isn't even here.
You want me to come along.
But still want to be alone.

You want to have a home in my heart,
But refusing to give away yours.

An unwanted love.
Gulishta Nov 2017
He said,
I like you, a little.
I want you, a little.
I trust you, a little.
Wanna be with you, a little.
Wanna love you, a little.

I said,
I don't think it's possible.
That my decision is irreplaceable.
That I wouldn't let this happen.

Then why?
I was the one to fall.
I was the one who couldn't be alone.
After knowing everything all along,
Why am I the one who couldn't keep,
My head and heart apart?
Why am I the one,with a broken heart?.

A mess.
Gulishta Nov 2017
My mind is a mess.
This game of life,
Really similar to chess.
I don't know what is right or wrong.
I don't know ,if I wanna be with someone or stay all alone.

I'm trying to solve this puzzle.
Everytime I come close ,
There's another one.
I don't know what to believe.
I don't know,if I should be scared or relieved.
Should I enjoy this feeling?
Or run for the hills??

Maybe it's a bad thing,
My lack of experience.
Or Maybe I shouldn't,
Take this That seriously.

I saw a man.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I saw a man walking by..
Hunched in himself.
Like he wanted to be left alone.
Like it's hurting him,
The sun that just shone .

He was a resemblance of the night.
Cold ,dark and all dressed in black.
With an aura of loneliness.
A walking example of heartbreak.

Maybe he was going to say goodbye.
Or Maybe he was coming back from it.
I wanted to reach out.
To make him less lonely.
To tell him "it's not it".

Then I realised. .
I'm the resemblance of the night.
he was a figment of my imagination.
Just to feel less lonely.
OrMaybe he was the other half of me.

Life.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Some says it's a journey,
Some says it's an experience.
I say it's a roller coastar.
The exhilaration of going up,
The calmness of coming down.
The pulsing of excitement,
The serenity of the quiet.
The tears of heartbreak.
And the tears of joy.
The butterflies of falling in love.
The gut ranching feeling of loosing someone.
The togetherness of family.
The companionship of the friendship.
The celebrations of a new life.
The funerals and goodbyes.
The beauty of mother nature.
And the ugly side of humans.
The innocence of a child.
The aqua and wild life.
It's really hard to contain it in just few lines.

Rise from the ashes.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Oh! I've gone crazy,
I couldn't stay away.
You slept serenely,
While I lie awake.

You told me the promises
You told me the lies.
You did everthing to hurt me.
While I tried to keep us alive .

You just go now,
I gave you the permission.
I was a fool to try,
Or just knew the importance.

But I won't Fall.
I won't give you the satisfaction.
And I don't care,
I got burn in the process.
Oh! you just wait and see,
I will rise from the ashes.
Nov 2017 · 215
Waiting for you.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Watching you from afar,
Waiting for you to notice,
That you are what I wanted.
And everybody can tell it.

I want you to make the move,
Not because I'm shy,
just have something to prove.
We have an unsteady relation.
That I'm sure we both wants to improve.

Because you are everything to me.
Like you are flowing through me.
Like I'm living on you.
Like I came in this world for you.
And right now, just here waiting for you.

I got lost on my way home.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I got lost on my way home.
There was this place,
That I didn't know .
So beautiful but out of reach.
I tried the walls but couldn't breach .

There was solitude and greatness .
There was compassion and happiness.
There was a life of absolution.
And maybe with a lot of solutions.

I wanted to stay but couldn't.
I wanted to make a home there but couldn't.
I wasn't what they wanted.
Not worthy enough.

I was just a human.
With lust and envy.
With love and jealousy.
With a motive and a search for empathy.

It's okay.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Once we plant a tree of love.
If it blossomed ..would have been nice.
But it didn't. .so it's okay.
Nothing happened. .it's okay.
We couldn't be together. .it's okay.
There's nothing left for me..it's okay.

You were my journey,I was stranger.
You were the first note of the song,
I was the chorus.
You used to look like mine.
Like you were made for me.
Like we were meant to be.
But it didn't happened. ..it's okay.

Now tears and heartbreak are my best friends.
But I still have a smile on my face.
And even if I don't get a single thing out of this life..it's okay.

Oh life....
I've called for you.
Thought and nourished you.
But you didn't like it.
But you didn't believe it.
I was trying to make it up to you.
Now your eyes are upset with me.
But it's okay..
Inspired by a hindi song..one of my favourite.

Heartbreak.
Gulishta Nov 2017
How does a heartbreak look like?
Does it have a face?
Does it breath and is alive?
Or its just a shadow of my most beloved person?
Who has murdered my heart..
And made my head hallow.
Who took goodness,happiness, colours and my soul away.
Just left a shell, even the wind can sway.

Close to you.
Gulishta Nov 2017
This thing between us is not clear,
But it's so beautiful and pure.
I don't care about it's name,
I won't be able to if you ask me to elaborate.
This feeling I get whenever you're near,
This spark and charm that you inspire.
The more and more space in my heart you seems gain,
I'm just a moth to your flame.
The intensity of my feelings for you is scary,
As oppose to the easiness in your life that you seems to carry.
Everytime you come close to me,
My heart skips a beat.
I know it's cliché that I just repeat.
You are what they say "bad for health",
I don't know how I'll keep this strength.
But I don't wanna get lost in you,
All I Want is to be close to you.

A question.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Your innocence is what captured me first,
Then your personality became elixir for my thirst.
You were always too witty,
Used to make my jaw gritty.
Then you started to look cute,
And I knew the chances of being something between us were acute.

One day suddenly it strucked me,
That you became a big part of me.
I started to look forward to our banter,
And every other interesting encounter.
You were every thing that I didn't wanted,
Now it feels, for you I've waited.

But I'm too afraid to say.
What happens if you wants me away?
Should I risk already good relation and my heart?
Would it be the end or a fresh start?.
Nov 2017 · 410
A journey
Gulishta Nov 2017
The innocence of childhood.
The excitement of learning something new.
The process of growing up.
The hustle bustle of teenagers.
The hide and seek in the street.
Riding the bicycle for the first time.
Getting A+ in least favourite subject.
The increasing trophies on shelf.
The collection of stupid things .
The crushes on movie stars.
The understanding of friendship.
The push and pull of relationship.
The hovering of parents.
The annoying interference of siblings.
The first love.
The stepping into adulthood.
The going through college.
The torture of professors.
The experience of heartbreak.
The first hangover.
The process of finding the job.
And starting the "adult life".
The finding of forever.
Making a life together.
And starting a family.
And here's come the new circle.
Nov 2017 · 251
For you.
Gulishta Nov 2017
You came slowly,
without making a noise.
Made a home inside my heart,
Didn't gave me a choice.
I didn't even realise,
Until it was too late.
Never in my life,
Have I ever took a bait.
You became my reason to smile,
You eyes became my reason to keep going with my life.
Your laughter became music to my ears,
Your dedication took away my reasons to fear.
You became the beating of my heart,
You became every wish I asked to the stars.
You became the centre of my universe,
You became the reason for my existence.

Struggling.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I've struggled,to get up in the morning,
Knowing,you won't be in the kitchen preparing the breakfast.
I've struggled,to go to office,
Knowing,you won't be there to say"see you in the evening".
I've struggled, to get my work done.
Knowing,chances of you forgiving me are none.
I've struggled,to keep myself centered.
since, you are everywhere.
I've struggled,to come back home,
Knowing,I'll be there all alone.
I've struggled,to going to bed,
Knowing ,I won't be getting any rest.
I've struggled,to keep your memories down.
Knowing,I'll be lying awake till the dawn.

Best friend's goodbye.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I'm happy,that you are happy.
I'm celebrating your love.
I'm standing here beside you.
Watching you walking down the aisle,
Toward your one true love.

I pray to God everyday,
For him to never let you loose your smile.
I'm asking him to take care of you,
Since I've given up on what has been mine.

You've asked me,
if I ever fell for someone,
If I  ever missed someone.
I didn't answered,just walked off,
Then I looked up in the sky and said
SO MUCH.

You have a life,
full of love ahead of you,
Don't ask me to come back.
You have everything you ever wanted,
Just loose your best friend.

If i could.
Gulishta Nov 2017
If I could change the past,
I would change the moment we started moving too fast.
If I could change my one sentence,
I would change the one I said
About you being my penance.
If I could change the way it hurts,
I would change the minute I started to trust.
If I could change one feeling,
I would change the one I got
When I was staring at the ceiling.
If I could change my one wish,
I would change where I wanted you to miss.
If I could go back in time,
I would go to the moment we met.
If I could change my one word.
Then I would change when I said yes.
Nov 2017 · 409
Ready to be mine.
Gulishta Nov 2017
A simple touch,
An innocent hug,
I'm trying to rein my feelings,
Please make it worth.

Twinkling eyes,
Goofy smile,
Don't be that sweet ,
It's getting harder to hide.

You're touchy feely,
Please take it easy,
You've got no idea
what's going on inside,
This head of mine.

You're all over the place,
I'm trying to keep inside,
Please behave until ,
You are ready to be mine.
Nov 2017 · 147
Sometime.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Sometimes,having feelings is not enough,
Sometimes,being together is just too tough.
Sometimes, ending it while still can is good,
Sometimes,there are things for you to stand.
Sometimes, you have to let them go,
Sometimes,there isn't any chances of more.
Sometimes, all you gotta do cry,
Sometimes,you just don't have to try.
Sometimes, you have to choose something besides love,
Sometimes, you have to put other things above.
Sometimes, losing someone is better then losing yourself,
Sometimes,you gotta live for yourself.
Nov 2017 · 420
wish you were here.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I never took you seriously,
Never knew what you mean to me.
Everything we shared ,
Showed me how much you cared.
Your possessiveness used to scared me,
Now I wish to see your beautiful eyes staring at me.

Singing with the radio,the sad songs.
Days of dancing in your arms are long gone.
It used to suffocate me,
The way you were always around.
Now I wish to feel your arms on me.

Why did I go made it complicated?
When you were that committed.
Trying looking for something,
that's always been there.
Now I wish to you to be here.
Nov 2017 · 237
Till we meet again.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I didn't wanted to ***** you,
Wanted to give you time.
I was taking it slow,
Since I thought,we have a lifetime.

But you were snatched away,
In such a brutal way.
I couldn't get my bearing,
Couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I didn't know you were struggling,
What kind of a friend I've been?
Didn't even know,
The hand you were dealing.

I was just around the corner,
You would just have to reach.
Or you could've just told me,
We would've set up a meeting.

I would've answered,
Anytime you called.
What was your hesitation?
I was your best friend.as you've told!

If you would've just told me,
Maybe we would've still had time.
I would've moved heaven and earth,
Just to make you mine.

I searched for you forever,
Looking for your face in stranger.
Even chasing few wrong persons,
There's new height for my hallucinations.

Now,I'm going through the motion,
Working through this pain.
Waiting for that day to come,
Till we meet again.

No more
Gulishta Nov 2017
No more, expectations,
No more, explanations.
No more, sticking around,
No more, staring at the ground.

No more, letting you tell what to do,
No more, letting anyone through.
No more, saying "I love you ",
No more, weaving my life around you.

No more, wanting to get back together,
No more, the illusion of forever.
No more, hiding my tears,
No more, conscious what not to wear.

No more, letting you near,
No more, living in fear.
No more, pretending to sway,
No more, letting you get away.
Nov 2017 · 347
Moving on.
Gulishta Nov 2017
The stillness of the house,
The chaos in my brain.
The pigeon sitting on the window,
It just me and him again.

The vacant cupboard,
The empty shoe-rack.
the numbness that surrounds me,
And the things I still have to pack.

The moon high up in the sky,
the brightness of the stars.
it's all gonna help me,
to heal those scars.

the peaceful quiet,
after a very long time.
trying to leave everything behind,
that's all on my mind.

No life without you.
Gulishta Oct 2017
It hurts to even think,
What would happen if I blink.
My life is gonna change,
And everything we manage to make.
Only constant thing is uncertainty,
Won't even be getting an opportunity.
Everything that's there to loose,
ohh I don't,don't wanna choose.
They say they've done enough,
And keeping like this for you is rough.
Why moving on means leaving everything behind?,
Why can't can I keep you by my side?
They say it has to be this way,
I don't even get to get a say.
It's your life with they are dealing ,
Like you are gone already.
They say I have to let you go,
And expect me to keep going on.
My heart dying a little every minute,
Since I saw you on that breathing machine.
You can't leave me,
I haven't given you the permission,
And it's time to keep your promises.
You said we were meant to be,
Oh baby, baby please ...
Come back,come back to me.
Oct 2017 · 452
My friend
Gulishta Oct 2017
It started with a shared meal,
Eventually, became a big deal.
You saw me sitting alone,
Talked! because you were bored.
One simple phone call,
Smallest of the gesture that's all.
You saw something in my eyes,
And Wanted to make it alright.
I tried to push you away,
you kept coming back much for my dismay.
The way you were ready to forget whatever,
just so we could stay together.
you pushed,until I get ready,
And our time together has been crazy.
I'm proud to call you friend,
And I hope "us" never ends.

Stupid me.
Gulishta Oct 2017
You said, you were sorry,
You said, I don't need to worry.
You said, you'll make it alright,
And our future is so bright.
I wondered,what's going to happen,
If it was the time to be more forgiving.
You said , it won't happen again,
You said ,you were in the pain.
But I should've seen coming,
I should've been less forgiving.
I wanted to save you,
I wanted to keep you safe,
As if it's a fairy-tale.
You said you want me there,
I reached,you weren't anywhere.
I wanted to put you in a wrap,
you set me up in a trap.
They say life is not fair,
But what you'll make of a betrayal.
I gave you my heart and soul,
But you just wanted to see me fall.
you succeeded,
I didn't.
Oct 2017 · 698
I MISS YOU
Gulishta Oct 2017
Trying not to think about you,
But everything reminds me of you.
Anywhere I go ,you're there.
Everywhere I see,it's you.
Your smile,your eyes,your wink,
Your lips,your mouth, your **** hip swing.
The secret laugh,the inside joke,
Everytime I try to touch,
All turns to smoke.
Your touch , your smell,
The shelf full of shower gel.
The tie,that lies
Among my frilly dress.
Your kiss,your hug,
Lying on the counter your coffee mug.
The trees ,the wind ,
The flowers,the bird that sing.
Memories of our love,
The passionate meet.
The downtown  Street,
And my heartbeat.

BLUE
Gulishta Oct 2017
Sitting here thinking about my life,
There's a darkness, not an ounce of light.
Battered, shattered wings,
Sadness flowing and consuming like the wind.
Tears left my eyes dry,
Questioning, if I'll ever fly.
They asked, why am I depress?
There's no way I could express.
Sitting over here,wondering what to do?
Situation out of hand,my life never looked so blue.
Looking around myself,
Everything's covering in itself.
I'll walk a road of thousands of miles,
Where no one can say when to smile.
If only I have the courage to fight,
My life can take anothere height.

REGRET
Gulishta Sep 2017
We were walking from the market,
Reaching on time was the target.
Talking about this and that,
I can't remember what went bad.
I said I was fed up,
I don't know why I blew up.
But the result was disastrous,
The glare on your face was murderous.
Oh! How much I want to take it all back,
Oh!  How much of it all I regret.
I asked if it was the way it ends,
Your reaction was no comments.
I'm burning here in this guilt,
Choosing to loose what we've built.
Oh!  how much I want to take it all back,
Oh! how much of it I regret.

falling.
Gulishta Sep 2017
When the beating of your heart change,
Because of the texts you just exchange.
When someone's smile makes your heart fly,
And you know there are no rules to apply.
When you can't stop thinking,no matter,
And promises yourself to do better .
When you feel so light ,
And just want to  hold on tight.
When you feel you can change the world,
But still can't say the word.
What you can do for them is whatever,
And the promises of forever.
When you can take what life give,
And still have the power to forgive.
When there's no right or wrong of a side,
Because that one person is by your side.

longing.
Gulishta Sep 2017
The hallowness in my chest,
The constant nagging in my head.
This feeling of vulnerability,
And I'm thinking of possibility.
I'm thinking about you,
But don't wanna look weak in front of you.
Afraid! , what you'll say,
Not saying what I wanna say .
how hard is it to say, anyway?
That I want you back, all the way.
Gulishta

— The End —
