मन भरून आले तुला पाहून,
आठवण येत होती तुझी.
तुला सांगायचं गेले राहून
मनातली गोड भावना माझी.

सुंदर दिसत होतीस तू,
नेहेमीसारखीच हसत होतीस,
पण तुझ्या हसण्याचा आनंद तू
मला मिळून देत नव्हतीस.

खूप समजावलं मी मनाला माझ्या –
नको तिची आठवण काढूस,
आठवणींच्या पेटाऱ्याला तुझ्या
पाहून नको अश्रू गाळूस.

पण तरीही, कधीतरी दार वाजल्यावर
तू भेटायला आलीयस असं वाटतं,
दारात कोणी तरी दुसराच दिसल्यावर
मन पुन्हा एकदा तुटतं.

To play the heartstrings plays a song that only we can hear,
To love the artist in words,

Every string that sings the easing pluck of fingers on the page,

To love a poet,
To sing and grow my wings unfold and brings the snow it,
Lingers...

Under my fingers.

The tremble of little, unspeakable things.

Speak to me your fears.
The Pen and paper rend and savor the bend and sway of a heart that dares to hear,

The black pours from the poet sword.

Fingered on the page I bend and wage my war,
Inked and torn the paper bore the tears.

To love the art,
The burns too sore to heal,

To love,
The start,
The pen and art that bleed apart the papers,
Your eyes reveal the arcs I forgot to read,
The swings of ease,
My mind rings a wicked song,

I squeeze the pages between my aching, bleeding fingers,
The ink stains my blood,
Black,
The sting,
The flood of feelings, the shaking dealings of thought.
You caught my sighs , you caught my lies,
Now sing to me a different song.

Red fades to grey,
The lines begin to grace my fingers,

The cuts now painting my pains upon the pages.
My rage subsides,

Under the gates of shining hell,
the wells of golden swell.

My eyes crash again.

And there you are.

You told everyone you were a care bear
But you don’t know how to handle my heart

You don’t know what it means to care
Because otherwise my heart wouldn’t be ripped apart

You told everyone you would fight for me
and would go through fire like a bold beast

You only fight for money and power, can’t you see?
You toss me around like prey, celebrate it like a feast

oh you, you beautiful bear, you stuffed with jealousy bear
you use your claws on me, you show me you are the silverback

And you hurt me so deeply, I don’t think that is care
which is odd, because bears don’t like leaders of a pack

I tried to stuff myself back together with needles and thread
but my eyes are leaking and my mouth stays taped

you want me to sit still and look like every other zombie-head
Mary wrote a book about me, in which I was monster-shaped

I wish you held me, consoled me, supported me and not like a ripped bear
because that is what it actually means to care

My chest laid bare
on the muddy soil—
my ribs, flowered open.
Despair, my canvas—
picked apart by scavenging savages.
Condemned to the deep,
my heart lay.

You're an idol
of my making.
And yet, unworthy
of worship.
I committed to you,
my heart and soul—
in hopes for affection.
I put you
on a pedestal—
burying you in a sea of incense,
giving you mindless desire.
What have I received
in return?
Life is loss, pain
You move on, push past it
You write subroutines to deal
To ease, to distract, to bypass
Again and again until
You are more subroutine
Than you are yourself
And you wonder
At what point did pain
Become more relevant
To life
Than living?

Worth comes from that which is done with passion, intent and or emotion.

Something that tries to express the most abstract thing about humans.

Something that is hard to explain in words.
The purest form of truth is that which you believe in with heart, body and soul.
It may not be correct, but nothing may fault you for a wrong if it is the only thing you know.
A drunk is forgiven for wrongs while drunk, and so should you be forgiven.

How can you even say it?
Looking at farewell message
I spent hours
But if you said it
You never loved me enough
It's time to leave
Since that's what you want
After that every moment
I thought about you
Every moment I feel to talk
Last thing came in mind
My absence is needed
For you to be happy
Empty heart, empty love, empty mornings
So is the farewell meant
It's about farewells

Sometimes I go back to the past

I watch my twiggy legs shake, my hands grip my arms attempting to steady; to comfort

I watch myself form an invisible box around my body; a personal shield

While I begged for forgiveness that I didn’t need

My brain separated my consciousness from reality,

I said it all just like a story,
just like they had taught me



On my knees in front of your bed,
an altar for wrathful gods

I cried and I prayed for forgiveness that I didn’t need

I took all the blame, bared it like a cross
and carried it with me,

You gave me a title, a crown of thorns-
and watched me bleed  


And still while I bled, exposed on your cross,

You told me to beg harder, for the innocence I had lost

So I begged for forgiveness that I didn’t need


while he watched under the shade of your palm trees-

You must be proud of me
Proud that I have moved on
Proud that I have taken a step
Admiring the progress I made
Silently happy for me

But I am not proud at all
I am not proud of this progress
I am not proud of these scars
You gave me shameful wounds
That my heart has to bear

You were my pride and joy
You were my future and hope
A partner, a lover, a friend
Now look where that got me
A broken heart for all to see

Retelling the stories of us
Brings great shame to me
Making me look like a fool
Why would I be proud of
The hardships you put on me

You are not proud of me
Surviving the heartbreak
Or how I carry myself with pain
You are proud of the scars
That still carries your name
