The mess that I made- a song

 The mess that I made

picture from: @omario2d


I was afraid to say
That I was slipping away
Till I couldn't force myself back anymore
And so I cut all ties
Almost like I burnt him alive
Now I'm hollow b'cause guilt ate up my core

Just like my favourite song
That I've been singing along
But got so sick of it that I can't anymore
Swore I'd protect his heart
Said 'till death do us part'
But stabbed and twisted where he was already sore

But if the sun deserves to shine, if my intentions weren't malign
Take all the pain from his heart and pour it in mine
This is my prayer for him, bring love and hope to the betrayed
Don't punish me by punishing him for the mess that I made

It killed me everytime I lied
And now I'm dead inside
Can't carry the weight of love anymore
I hope he takes it slow
Beg him to let me go
For he deserve better than an attention seeking whore

The love of his life
Wish I could be his wife
But I can't even be myself anymore
Would've given him all of me
But I'm so empty
That I can't love him the way he does anymore

But if the sun deserves to shine, if my intentions weren't malign
Take all the pain from his heart and pour it in mine
This is my prayer for him, bring love and hope to the betrayed
Don't punish me by punishing him for the mess that I made

Will You- a poem

-
 Will You I’ve been musing quite a while Do I want it cryptic or clear I could throw my verse in this universe Or imprint entire cosmos, my dear   I think I’ll commence without salt or spices Raw description of the most gorgeous man around the city Your eyes are so seraphic That I wonder if I’m sufficiently pretty   So chivalrous, soft, masculine, and kind I feel so safe with your arms wrapped around Your mere presence chokes me with emotion You just have to look at me to make my heart pound   But you blow hot and cold I’m all in and you seem to have no clue You mystify me to pieces and I wonder If I say I love you, will you?   I watch Gilmore Girls these days And when I see Dean kissing Rory I imagine scenarios of you kissing me Hoping you too fabricate our story   See, I now notice every white car in town Hoping one of them would slow down near me And then you’ll pick me up and drive me around Until you show me all there is to s

Safety net- a poem

-
 Safety net The fear of falling abandoned me When I was a mere child Because Dad always caught me When I jumped off wild   Those monkey bars remember the tale It has been witnessed by every wall That I climb with audacity Because my dad catches me every time I fall   This lives on with me as a metaphor I’m beset by no frown Because I know dad will pick me When life knocks me down   Every failure is trivial His love grows as big as my problems get There is no fall too big for me As long as I land on my safety net   He reminds me of humility and thankfulness On the days I’m glad But today I think everyone must know My gratitude list starts with my dad -Maithili

Dipsomaniac- a poem

-
 Dipsomaniac another sip of you down the throat an alcoholic drenched in pain what is lethal to the heart is compulsive to my brain   summer dies into autumn my leaf falls to your feet, as if in prostration a casual crunch on that red rust as you omit hesitation   a love that pales with the trees only so long a summer fling can be i turn up the music so as to drown out the motorcycles in my vicinity   a starry violet window a starry eyed dipsomaniac out of luck a yearning for sobriety a fall that is all about getting back up -Maithili
