Penning down notes, stringing hearts to a heart
For bridges are burnt sitting a feet apart.
Feeding our innate appetite to be loved
Pushing yourself forward without being shoved.
When careless whispers hurt more than a spear
When mouths ramble on without any dignified fear.
The smallest gestures ease your pain
'Cause urns brimming with love are washed with disdain.
Words are uttered with no real meaning
Your heart is wilting even when you're beaming.
Incessantly cleansing yourself like a omnipresent shower
For there is no shame in being a wallflower.
Swimming around in a stream of thoughts
Trying to shape a world, connecting those dots.
Eyes meet and emotions are expressed
But you wring inside cause your floating soul is depressed.
Please thank those who give unrequited love and care
I never learnt to bargain, never got my share.
Shutting down can only help so much
For you need that vent, that healing touch.
Life goes on, some might say
But what is life if you die day after day.
And if reading this makes you think I'm sad,
Just don't think, share a hug and I'll be more than glad.
Cheers.

Wow. I've read your stuff before, but this...we've all been there. So intense. It's amazing.

ReplyDeletethis is a very intense kind of expression. It makes me wonder that how much pain the writer is trying to express and at the same time asking the world to fall in love or keep loving others through small things.
Well I have to say that u have rhymed it well. The english here and there is a bit tough for me to understand. Overall very nice. Reading it makes me feel as if I am listening to a voice-over of a film. Cheers to yr last two lines because that's a smart and witty way to write.
Keep Writing. Njoy
this really made my morning.
ReplyDeleteit's beautifully written, manuja! :)
I want you to know. You write so perfectly you almost don't deserve to talk :) Have faith. And you'l fly with ease over the speed breakers.
