Love,
A word we carelessly throw around,
Casually to people we like and some we don't
An emotion so rare these days.

In a world so corrupt,
Families fueled by greed,
Betrayal fueled by lust,
Frenemies frolicking with lovers

We have accepted our fate,
We trust too little,
Love less,
Fake more.

So forgive me if I do not say the words back,
I am a child of this world,
I've learnt all too well,
My love is but nothing to be treasured.

Or perhaps I too have been corrupted
I know not what love is
So remind me
Of my innocence once lost.
She doesn't keep to herself
She has trusted alot of people in the past
And so many of them switched up
So stop knocking
Her walls are up
All her doors are locked
She's not letting anyone in

When the trust is broken,
And the words are just spoken:
You never give your ears on them;
It never gains the grip which's already loosen.


The words become the unknown,
It never reaches your heart again:
The thing no one can understand;
The words are just not a word-


It belongs to the epic story,
Which has the connection in past glory!
But people just smashed the bygone memory; Making their present to forget the trust's worry.



Composed by Urooba Fatima.
This poem comes off the suffering of broken trust.
To trust someone
is something frail
you give others.

They break it with ease,
You're left alone to fix.

I am building a shelter
here in the silence  

The pause between breaths
the moment when even my heart
gathers her rest, between beating  

I can’t stay long  

The scratching of pen on paper
a faraway helicopter
my gurgling belly
small feet running up the path  

I’ll come again
when I can
When you buy a story,
Know what it's worth,
Remember where you bought it,
And most importantly
Understand what it cost you.

i was too young to care
i'm old enough now to never forget
i miss you
Deep asleep my heart stops beating,
why am I here this is a mistake.
Lost in darkness my skin is freezing,
I fell asleep but did I wake.
I do remember a porcelain plate,
I held a cup I ate and drank,
Hemlock soup with a Death Cap steak,
Oleander tea and a Ricin cake.
Poisonous dreams betrayal and scheming,
was it dinner that sealed my fate?
Looking down I am not breathing,
I feel no sorrow if it ends today.
I see her face but she's not speaking
as I drift into the dark decay

I am haunted:
Not by poltergeist,
but by my unlived lives.
Parallel universes
won't ever speak,
they took an oath
to keep from me.
I have words and voices
humming in my head
that will never be met
outside of my bed.
I have to accept
I cannot have it all,
I have to accept
knowing nothing at all.
Uncertain and finite circumstances are perhaps the only stepfathers because they offer us only alternatives to human reason, not just universal spontaneity and relationships!

If a single link, a bad idea, a fluctuating idea comes into play once,
snaps unconscious subconscious thought fluctuations, reinstated actions determine honest, instead of common sense! - It happens - believes the Individual, - so the man is himself, - the mass is organic, it will be ****** in and stay!

And so he deliberately bypasses the line of personal thought, selected and trusted logical steps! And the irreparable would further deteriorate, with the consistent laws of indestructible Humanism:

As if you were to fly a billion billions of stars on a fly paper, the stupidly successful animal irresponsibility! "Why is there even a sense that I'm afraid?" - Would I ask the Reality: prudent, patient, and conscious-minded people?


What could have gone wrong What? Where ever we may have made a mistake, and it is quite regrettable that in our infectious ****, we have finally forgotten about the Causes!
Fearless beasts, egotistical monkeys,
Gorillas imagined for Adonis, emerging jampecs whale age - afraid - long gone, and only the faith of man in himself, prudence is the universal moral values allows us to sink into the mud from there
consciously measured by the standard of humanism
- let's leave with head raised!
