‘If you truly love someone,
And they want to go,
The best thing you can do is let them go’.
And while you’re gone
I will keep this love alive
For it can never die
You are my once in a lifetime
I will hold you in my heart
And wait
And wait
And wait into the next life if I must.

I am taking revenge on myself
digging a quiet hole at
night I am accountable to
only myself and failing at it.
in the early morning feels
like a warm dark womb.
every laughter more resonant
and every tear more sad.
at 5pm the day feels like it's
on a leash
with just a small gated
patch of grass available
to run freely in circles.
even loops break.
I can take a pair of
scissors and bring the
blades to the tension.

you were my third but the first
to steal my heart
for a butterfly's lifetime
no matter how many wingstrokes
there was no typhoon for us
only weak winds — still water
the dried butterfly wings
you left in exchange for my heart
can't seem to bear
all of this fear and tear

ye khwab hai khushbu hai ki jhonka hai ki pal hai
ye dhund hai baadal hai ki saya hai ki tum ho
ye umr-e-gurezan kahin thehre to ye jaanun
har sans mein mujh ko yahi lagta hai ki tum ho
