Dear Heart




Dear heart
Are you listening?
Then please tell me what to do
I am feeling a lot of things I shouldn't feel
Is this because of you?
My mind is barking orders
And chiding me for being unreasonable 
I can see the logic 
Yet it seems illogical to me
Dear heart
Are you the one responsible 
For the long sleepless nights
And the way my breathing falters 
When my eyes sees her lovely sight
Is it your doing dear heart?
Is it your doing 
To be blamed for my undoing
You know 
You and I have been hurt a lot
Yet you are keen to go down that road again
Have you even learned how to stop?
Years of waiting dear heart
And hurt is all we have got.
Is that why you're longing for love so bad
So you can erase the memories that make you sad
Again and again
You see what's not there for you to see
You feel what you are not allowed to feel
You demand whatever the hell you want
Till when this will last
Why can't you slow down a bit
Is this too much to ask?
You have me 
And I have you dear heart
Wouldn't it be enough to love ourselves
To reach out for each other
Do we really need someone for that?
Yes dear heart
Do you hear me?
We have each other
For ever and ever.

An Incomplete Story



There's a story you all must have heard
About two people
And their happily ever after.
Their journey 
Through bruises and pain 
While they struggle to find
Their way to each other
But have you realised 
The real story is not about the bruises
Or the pain they live through 
Or the journey 
To their happily ever after.
'Cause the story is 
And always will be 
About those two people
Like me and you
The rest are just illusions
Details that might or might not be true
So the story may say
That I might have hurt you 
Or you might have misunderstood me
But in the end
We both know 
That our story is not about all that crap
Our story
Like all other stories
Is about two people
Sharing a single soul.
The half of me
Will always be meaningless and incomplete 
Without the half of you.
Much like our story
Which despite the glorious details 
Of love and madness
Is still unfinished 
And undone too.
People might surmise our story as a sad one
Or a story with a sad ending.
But for me
There'll be only two types of stories
One in which those two people finally meet
And the one that is forever incomplete.
