Ethereal

I engraved your name in my melancholy. Withering in pain of the untold whispers I've become yours.... It was that smile and I've been enchanted since forever... In distant memories, If ever I ever ask you, what made me let go? Nor love, nor grief .... Just the fall.... There you go, I fell....

There are the scars or should I say battle wins imprinted on your canvas.Even an artist might fail to suppress them.Why should I cover those ethereal strokes when you're simply a tragic masterpiece? Let me kiss those scars, let me give you a piece of mine to never forget you for a thousand lifetime

The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest

A Call to the Wild, the Lost, the Never-Grown, the Ones Who Still Dream

I am a child. A teenager. A soul that never grew up, that never fit into the dull gray world of adulthood, no matter how much people tried to force me. And I am searching for my people. Not just any friends. Not just some online chats that fizzle out after a few weeks. No. I am searching for... read more

There is no similar feeling

To the melancholy depth of ending an amazing narrative. I've spent 1000 pages with them both, and now, as the last 80 pages inch to the end, I feel the sadness holding my heart. And there I go, another breakup, another friend is gone. The empty loneliness takes hold, till its submerged in a new... (edited) read more

Tormenting nightmares

The night relinquished me not into the gentle embrace of slumber, but into the cruel, ceaseless theatre of my own mind—a place where horrors are not content to remain in memory, but must instead be relived, reshaped, and reborn with every closing of my eyes. What a dreadful farce it is, this thing... read more

Chidlike mother and a motherly child

The song DNA Guarantee by Kodi Rhianne kept playing in my head all day, even after I woke up from a nap. The lyrics—"childlike mother and a motherly child"—felt like they were written about my life. I was never my abusive mother’s baby, not even a maybe. Everything she hated about me felt like a... read more
