  • validation

    a gorgeous sunset through naked eyes
    didn’t happen
    an electrifying concert witnessed
    didn’t happen
    lip smacking indian food the other day
    never tasted
    the miles ran just after the sunset
    never experienced
    for the camera was off
    a moment not captured on an sd card
    is not a moment at all
    memories, who cares about them
    all i need is validation from strangers
    liking my stuff, while they cry inside

  • oblivious

    unimaginable pain piercing through
    when reality strikes
    shaken legs looking for a flat surface
    when gloomy future arise

    yet strength carries forward the soul
    for you’re not alone
    hope and heart for a better tomorrow
    and old wounds gone

    but out comes the truth unbearable
    staring right at you
    all you thought were close are no more
    left right on queue

    friends shared the pain before
    hearts sympathetic
    was a ruse you couldn’t catch, my god
    you are pathetic

  • uneasy

    a thought unprovoked buried deep within the crevices of mind
    unshakeable, stuck for time eternal
    and numb limbs fighting to figure out a cure
    for the tingles keep getting worse
    something i did and now i’m left wondering
    what could have been if it wasn’t for that one mistake
    a pounding heart is all i’m left with
    and a fear it’ll soon break
    anxious of an outcome walking the road never taken
    echoes of caution, dead end ahead, turn left
    shaking legs trying too hard. scared inside, am i dead
    a thought unprovoked buried deep within the crevices of mind
    unshakeable, stuck for time eternal

  • no more

    nah… i’ve endured enough for you
    no more shall i come to your rescue
    a toy to play with and then
    shove it under the bed
    discarded. disposed off
    away from any living gaze

    while you roam around with
    someone else
    catering to every whims of
    this creature
    and i endure…
    pain… regret… loss.

    only for you to come back with
    tears to soak my shirt
    and me to just be happy while
    i cry… i shout… i tremble…
    to blind eyes and deaf ears
    no more

    this, here is when
    i let you go
    this, here, is when
    i take a stand
    this, here, is when
    i become free!

  • waving off

    what you leave behind are just memories
    fading every passing moment
    until one day you return to find yourself all alone
    staring at soulless strangers

  • inevitable…

    the nature of nature is naturally unnatural
    a little wind here, a little rain there and behold
    the scared and helpless humans with little machines
    out of their depth whilst the earth swallows them whole

  • caged

    can’t remember the last soul
    i had a talk with, alive or dead
    monsters swirling, thoughts burning
    oh, the sins inside of my head

    left with my own instruments
    thinking of a world mortals dread
    shouldn’t have left me alone to die
    darlings, you made your own bed

  • addicted

    thrill of a secret, behind closed door
    hushed voices, scared to the core
    a drag, this life, a drag to forget
    needle underneath, and now it’s too late

    buried with burden, i’m free no more
    ripped hearts i see, i see promises i tore
    undone by lows, high only to hate
    quest a happy life, alas! sealed fate

  • secrets in plain sight

    there’s something about those eyes
    piercing through the heart
    and yet cold and distant
    i fear the secrets they hide
