Downpour

All the good stuff?! Right.

I woke up

With the sound of raindrops

And I immediately

Thought of you

And of that day

When you shook me

Off my slumber 

And told me that raindrops

Should be our models in loving.

With a sleepy confusion

I asked you why

And you answered with

That lopsided smile 

And a hint of mischief in your eyes,

"They're not afraid to fall,

 In fact that's not all they do;

 They also give and return."; 

"Give and return what?" I mumbled, 

"Love, blessings, happiness?

All the good stuff." 

I looked at your pillow,

At your side of the bed,

And wished it was summer.

Nightmarish

When nights become

Unbearable and the

Heaviness of the moonlit 

Sky weighs down on me

 I start willing my

Mind not to think 

Of anything

To make my body

Numb, even lifeless 

To a degree

I try very hard 

Not to breathe

Or move because

I fear that any sudden

Movement no matter

How small

Will connect me to 

My thoughts;

That I don't want 

To think about, 

To my dreams;

That is now haunting me, 

To my heartache;

Who brought upon me

Nights like this,

And to you,

Who tortures me 

Because you are not here.

Touched

-

-

I tried holding my hand once

Not because I felt cold

Or it has gotten dirty

I did it because 

I was trying to get back

To that time in the past

When all I ever did was

Love you the best way

I could

It was a phase when

I woke up with butterfly kisses

Moments when I breathe

What you exhaled

It was during those nights

That I loved you the most

I felt connected

Not only to you

But to us and to a future

And yet no matter how long

I held my own hand

I did not feel you there.

Wiped Out

After 5 months, I saw you. But you didn't see me.

-

-

I saw you today

Wiping the windows

Looking so strange

I saw you today 

Huge distance between us

When I'm only 

A few meters away.
