Benzene
You stand where the night devours itself,
drowned in the sickly glow of dying stars.
The air does not move it waits,
as if it fears your departure more than I.

Take my hand, if hands still matter,
if the flesh is not yet weary of grasping.
Beyond the horizon, the void hums,
a song without memory, without end.

Would you stay, if the sky collapsed?
If the gods turned their backs, indifferent?
I would cast my name into the fire,
let time devour me, if only to remain.

So let the dark stretch infinite and cruel,
I will walk where shadows have no shape.
And if you call, I will follow
not as a man, but as a whisper in the abyss
Hii beautiful people…

I need more alcohol,
To numb my pain.
Not to party all night,
Just to alleviate my brain.

The first shot I choke down,
The second I shudder once,
The third I welcome,
The fourth has no burning response.

“Why is the tequila slowly disappearing?”
My dad inquires one night,
I shrug and convince him I’m innocent,
He agrees I am without a fight.

Night after night to slow my thoughts.
Shot after shot to **** the loneliness.
Gulp after gulp straight from the bottle.
Morning after morning I awake amidst the fogginess.

I guess this is what addiction is.
I guess I should care about the dependence.
But all I care about is escaping,
The pain i am cruelly sentenced.

याद आई अभी अभी तेरी,
क्या कुछ ग़लत तो नहीं किया?
याद आई तभी तभी तेरी जब कभी सोचा,
तू नही होगी तो याद कैसी होगी,
जैसा अभी हाल है, या फिर तेरा ज़ीक्र होते ही रो दूंगा.
अब दूर है तो तेरी दवाईयों का डब्बा खाली है,
दिल में मेरे तेरी गालियों का हिस्सा खाली है,
तेरे सिरहाने से अभी भी नारंगी गोलीयों की खुशबू आती है,
अब दूर हूं तो तेरी याद आती है.
तूझे सताया है बहुत, तूझे रुलाया है बहुत,
आऊंगा घर तो गले लगाऊंगा तूझे,
मगर कह नहीं पाऊंगा तेरी याद आती है.
याद आई अभी अभी तेरी,
क्या कुछ ग़लत तो नहीं किया?
बूढ़ी को सताया है बहुत, अब कभी कभी सोचता हूं तो याद आती है।
I want to be the dandelion
growing in between the cracks
in the sidewalk
living in spite
of everything trying to
**** it

how can i not cry ?
how can i not cry ?
when the pain is in my throat  and
tears are in my eyes
and the thoughts in my brain are telling me to die
how can i not cry ?
when all i see is the dark sky
and when my life is not mine
how can i not cry ?
when your harsh words break my heart
and when nobody is standing to defend me
how can i not cry ?
so please tell me how to not to cry

lacre 𐙚
there, Moonflower with petals that shine,
with silhouette that whispers divine,
reflection that’s crystalline.

oh! mystic Faerie of the night,
awakened by the spark of daylight.

ethereal Daylight crashed in,
unlike any other rays,
with an unknown expression,
the moonflower fades away.

there, sunflower that’s mellow,
with soft hues of warm yellow,
reflection of a halo.

spotted amidst the meadows,
with life from all sorts of flow.

yet, heo only sees the Sun,
no matter what’s sprung.
it's only the Sun she gazes-

even if the Sun doesn’t return her embrace.

i am what i am
will you take me as i am
i am a situational overthinker,
every moment lived with you should be remembered.
i have naive and soft heart,
but every time it feels broken and heavy.
i feel guilty and embarrassed,
to things i can't change.
don't know,
if someone will love me,
as deeply as i do.
will you take me as i am?
don't know is it a intro or confession.
