Still,
I am with your soul.
The scarf never came aside,
if only you had understood
when I said everything
without saying.
You carried the weight
of the world on you,
while I stood there
waiting for the boy I loved
who couldn’t stay.
Main characters are loved,
celebrated,
while I stood there,
close at hand,
never quite part of the plot.
Forget me
like a midnight breeze
that touched your life
but never came back.

Filler
The episode you skip
not hated,
just never considered.
No climax,
no drama,
just the sigh
before every fast-forward,
the pause
you never replay.
I was the metaphor you didn’t keep,
the memory that quietly fell asleep.
And still, I hum our incomplete song,
while you shelved me
in the baggage of your past.

A paragraph in your story
You were the book I never put down,
the story I swore I’d never leave incomplete.
Every chapter, every word
a world where only your voice would echo.
The eyes will wander everywhere
without knowing where to look.
Even constellations get wounded,
yet they never lose their significance,
still circling
in each other’s gravity.
Even star bleeds light
Maybe it wasn’t you,
maybe it wasn’t me,
maybe it wasn’t even us.
Maybe if you leave,
the world will look the same,
but it will lose its colour
like a house still standing
but with no windows in it.
And after everything,
you called it fate.
Said it wasn’t the right time,
said it was never meant to be.
Now it’s just silence
because effort
started feeling heavier than desire.

The Audacity
You said you wanted this.
You said it was everything.
You had the audacity
to ask the universe for a dream,
promise to bleed for it,
swear on it like it was oxygen
