Sometimes all I want to do is just vanish away,
mourn my own death just to shed some tears away,
death becomes equivalent to life when you are not living at times
I just feel like what the hell am I even doing ?
A tear trickled down my cheek as I thought of death
but its not like I saw a rainbow in the sky to start humming,
work has become an excuse for me to hide away from everyone
I told dear but when the day ends I become someone I don't want,
All I want is to be someone who I cannot see in the mirror,
Sometimes all I want to do is just vanish away,
A friend who is "there" in literal sense, a lover who "stays"
long enough to actually fall in love and a son who "listens"
I couldn't be anything but I hope someone stays in your life who just listens,
I am at my own funeral, people, people whom I didn't even know
are shedding their tears and comforting my parents,
"death comforted his pain, he is in a better place".
"fuck no, I wanted to live for god's sake",
I shout loud but nobody listens,
At time when I wish that sleep could be the shortcut to death,
I still hope that somebody would care,
A friend who is "there" in literal sense, a lover who "stays"
long enough to actually fall in love and a son who "listens",
You could be nothing,
We both failed, didn't we ?
Sometimes I just want to do vanish away...
my friends have "cool" friends, the girl I like have even cooler
friends and here I'm lamenting about my anguish,
you all are going to get bored of me eventually,
I hate my own smile and there's no way you will like me,
A friend/lover who I knew a year back once snapped at me, "You aren't mature
like your poems, you are not the same,
I begged her to stay and ultimately things ended badly for which I still blame myself,
One thing which I learnt was that don't ever be a lover before being a friend.
Pain has become your everything and you are
left with "nothing" in the end,
"Why don't you just let it go ?",I listen to you and sigh,
"All I want to do is let go off the pain, but my pain has become a host and I..."
"A mere refugee begging to dwell,"
you shy away from my depression like I am guilty of things I couldn't say,
you leave,
my guilt says,
Your depression has fucked up your mind,
I don't know whether you are being kind or just want to go away..
Sometimes all I want to do just vanish away ,
I don't know what it feels when snow touches the skin or
the smile that lingers across your face while you build a snowman with
your girl you love, I don't even know what it feels to get up and
take a first breathe of realizing my future mistakes,
I don't even know if staying is worth at all,
My mom asked me few days ago with a melancholic voice,
"Did you forget to write me a poem on my birthday ?",
I smiled at her, locked my room and stayed awake form the entire night,
I wonder why eulogy is better than a poem ? "haha",
Is it because we love someone even more when they are dead ?...
On certain mornings I wake up, I feel like running across the streets
and announcing my sins like they were a circus at the moment,
At night I go to sleep thinking they would be extra
at vulnerable like drowsy Saturday afternoon scolding,
I have forgotten what it feels like when you hug someone,
when two hearts collide,
does the sadness gets divided evenly ?
If our hearts collide, will your heart even deny to share my pain ?,
I have forgotten what it feels to be happy,
Goddamn, this night is again going to be lonely,
you will ask me to stay,
Don't worry, I will again stare at the blank sky,
paint the darkest thoughts with a paint brighter,
than my shadow, ask lord for forgiveness and stay awake for the rest of the night,
this world is a quicksand, and you all will need a hand to survive,
and here I m lying 6 feet all alone but the moon looks beautiful tonight,
Just give me a minute alright ?
before my mind clogs and buries my alive...
