Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
These empty houses
filled with wonted reminders
and ghosts of the past.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I heard you giggle,
softly, through the exhaustion.
It settled the ache.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I think of your eyes
and the tales only they spin.
I think of your smile.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Without a warning
it got colder as night fell.
You pulled me closer.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Will we still be us
when all of this is over?
Will you still be here?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
So many sunsets,
as unfinished memories,
spent watching alone.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We find the music,
the magic, in the mundane,
if we look for it.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me forgiveness,
and do it while we make up
for time spent apart.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I've always been yours.
Even if you don’t admit,
you’ve always been mine.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Let me offer you
my humble gratitude for
saving me always.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
The warmth doesn’t linger
without you to cut the cold.
Please bring back comfort.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Was I everything

you imagined I would be?

Does it still matter?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I remember you.
I remember the bright lights.
I remember us.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Whenever it’s time,
remember to let them in.
Slowly and softly.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I’m always looking
for your face in crowded streets,
hoping our paths cross.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I will wait right here,
for entire eternity,
to hold you again.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The ache never stops.

It stays as a reminder

of the lack of you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We are the stories
we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I am terrified
this heart will forget to beat
if you ever leave.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Bring to me longing
and watch me settle the ache
as I bring comfort.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The light will find us.
Of this, I am confident.
It will guide us home.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Soothe these weary bones,

make up for the lack of us,

hold me closer now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
No matter how long
you take to wander back home,
I will wait for you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Take me to your calm,

where this ache does not exist,

end this weariness.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
We are more than here,
more than terror and chaos.
We are more than now.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I don't belong here.
I'd rather be next to you,
not feeling homesick.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me of patience
and let me bathe in your calm.
Breathe life into me.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I want to go back

to when we were one atom

waiting to explode.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
We’re under these sheets,
unstirred by the rumbling skies,
tangled up in love.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I've no memory
from before the words began.
They were always there.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
We have sacrificed
so much to be here today,
don't give up on us.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
The bed will hold us,
as we rewrite our story;
make up for lost time.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I don’t care how far
I have to go, if you leave,
take me with you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Love me in between
sentences we try to make
through our breathlessness.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Laughter spilled across,
closing the space between us;
calm found us after.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
How do I thank you,
for the love you've given me,
for the laughs and smiles?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
What of all this ache?
What of the promises made?
What of this silence?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
You are so much more

than this longing and this ache.

You are art in form.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Forgive these hands for

needing to hold you always.

They don’t know better.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Things will settle soon
and it won’t ache anymore.
It will be alright.
