shhhhhh……

a secret in those eyes
hidden away, locked
the betrayal and the lies
i feel i’m being mocked

a feeling uneasy, every time
i look at you now
and you say everything’s fine
yet you broke the vow

would you gain back the trust
so unceremoniously broken
or give in again to lust
and be just a token

a secret never for another ear
but only for those eyes
staring through the crumpled mirror
and with it, it shall die

trust

the sweet nothings i whispered
were for you, not for one soul another
i thought we were together, up or down
here i am, without a shadow, full of doubt

tell me why? isn’t it the least i deserve
after all i lost, an answer to remember
shards of trust through broken heart
never again am i letting you close

eternal love

i see myself in your eyes
the way you turn, the way you move
carrying the weight of the world
still smiling, waiting for me

i see you from afar, afraid
for a bit too close, will bring you harm
but my love for you my love
will be forever

i wait for you, i pine for you
for our time is measured, a moment
without you, an eternity
you’re the one for me

i can’t see you anymore
for you are eclipsed with someone
i see you cry, your fury
uncontrollable

a sudden shift in your nature
is not unnatural to me, but for beings
mortal, i implore your mercy
they are our children

the eclipse will end my love
the clouds will part and we’ll be together
for it is written
by skies

a matter of words

sometimes it just so happens
you are thrust into responsibilities
uncontained
a life flashes by and echos of
misunderstandings brings words
unconstrained

momentary lapse and regret knocks
sinking heart pulses with self
disdain
escalation elevates erring enmity
encapsulating entire egos erstwhile
entrenched

maturity jumps ships exposing
baseless wounds of yore still
maintained
shiny times simply forgotten
a choice for misery
sustained

just a step in the right direction
or a step back consciously if not
abstained
a chance mayhaps at a journey
together without blades for tongues
retained

i’ve become so numb

i used to be bothered by the pain
echos of failures haunting every
step, the ones i took, and the ones
i ignored

fumbling on the path every way
stumbling on success while window
shopping for some respite
i explored

feeling the rage by the laughter
coming my way, by the despicable
well wishers leeching onto misery
i broke

and yet with time by my side
success kept aside, a smile on my
lips for i’ve become so numb
i evolved

i am sin

lust

the more i stare
the more they stare back
i just want him
the one behind the mirror

gluttony

why am i to save
a life that’s not mine
for i am better
far better than you

greed

don’t pray for me
i don’t desire blessings
if you want however
your money will do

sloth

i could’ve eased your
pain when you were hurting
maybe next time
i’m busy tonight

wrath

you, insignificant you
i won’t let you get away
with what you did to me
my wrath will destroy you

envy

you chose him
the clown who made you laugh
after all the things
i bought you

pride

if you think it’ll work
i pity your rotten life
for there’s no one better
than me, i’m rejecting you

ignorance

i was always better
there were no mistakes i made
she’s the one who couldn’t
understand my eminence

ritual

gentle nudge to bring me back

from the serene dream i had

your warm touch embraced

unlike that bright ball of fire

trying to shine brighter than you

how embarrassing for him

losing to but a dream of mine

a tragedy he shall face

for you are much more divine

when i open my eyes you

will be there smiling at me

unlike the eternity i woke up

to a weightless pillow
