Nameless..

As it poured over and over
I wondered what drenched my face
I wondered why I didnt dance today
I wondered why I felt lashed
I wondered why I couldnt beam
I wondered why I couldnt smile anymore

I turned around
And as my eyes searched
I looked in every corner
I looked in every nook
You were not there
You were not here
You took the umbrella away
You left the mask today
You took the joy away
You took the will to live again

You left me empty handed
But you arent to be blamed
You anyways were never 
Mine to claim

I was the toy when you had none
When you had no options, you made me one
I chose you let to in
I chose to trust you
At the end, its just your game
But no one except me to blame

I had never before
But you made me want to howl
You made me want to scream
I had no one anymore
No one to turn to 
No one to talk to
Coz they had all warned me before
They told me well in advance

They told me not to tag along
They told me not to play along
I know they wouldn't hold me down
But I knew I wouldn't be able to breathe no more
I knew I could do this no more
But you left me no choice
You made me invisible
And i became one
Not because you overshadowed me
But because I let you


You broke me to pieces 
Not because you could
But because I let you
You had me in your spell
You had me wound around your little finger
I was your puppet
You moulded me the way you wanted
And the day I spoke 
Is when you kicked my butt
You got me to run away
From the place I called home
I now know,
Thanks to you
I am left with none

The Sky & The Rock

There are times when you stare
Up at the sky
Times when all you want to do
Is fly really high
And then you feel the weight 
That keeps pulling you down
Like the rock
Meant only to drown you
That rock that aims for the sea bed
That rock that knows
What looks alive is simply dead
The rock that knows
That maybe you're done
Done trying
Done struggling
The rock that knows 
That maybe the thought
Of letting go
Seems peaceful
The thought of not fighting 
Not struggling 
Just letting the currents carry you
Take you with them
Drown you
Soak you in 
Seems so soothing so calm
And in that moment
You see yourself floating
On a cloud of absinthe 
That leaves you 
Thoughtless and speechless 
The one that lets you float 
Up and high
In the sky
The one that you once 

Aimed to fly!

Lessons Learnt

As I sat by the window
Watching the raindrops 
Trickle down the pane
I wondered
O dear, I've been insane

I spent my days
Pondering over thoughts
That couldn't matter less
Things that made me
A complete and utter mess 

I dreamt of the hand
That pulled my heart out
Without blinking the eye
Leaving me with no tears to cry

I stared as you walked away 
Stood there dumbfounded 
You dug my grave
While I looked astounded

You shovelled dirt on my grave
While my breath was intact
My heart beating as if
It wasn't greased and glued
Still there was something
My life, which chewed

As I lost your sight
I closed my eyes
Searched for you 
With all my might
You were long gone
But your memories 
Are what I hold onto tight
And the lesson I learnt
To let go where for feelings

You have to fight..!!
