I know not those landscapes
Neither your face that I see there...
but I know it was you again.
Did you sleep, last night?

Like forever, you swayed into the frames
Grinning from one ear to the other,
Pinching my cheek to annoy me
Adequate to make my nose twitch
You weren't alone though
But it was MY dream!
So I guess I was allowed to be there.

And just when I thought
I were on the brim of the dream
I extended my hand for you to hold...
To spill out into our reality with me
And like our forever, you abondoned me
And chose to stay behind
Perhaps until...
I don't let you sleep again some night.— % &

My wings are him.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it used to be
When life was young and gay!

Darkest lips I wore
And the blush would be all gold
All hairdos would take hours of mine
When the sun wasn't this old!
Flab would never show
In the skimpiest of outfits...
Wrinkles never jogged around
Nor were eyebags such misfits!
Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way
Sprinkle golden dust on me
And keep aging at bay, hey!

चांद भी तेरे जैसा है
रोज़ एक नया चेहरा लिए आता है
एक तुझपर और दूसरे इसपर
अब हमको कोई ऐतबार नहीं।
तेरी ही तरह चलता है
इसके झूठ का सिलसिला
और फिर फुलोंकी आड़ में
हमसे मुहब्बत जताता है।

Feels longer than the last time.
Brings fewer thoughts and newer fears.
Although the pain is now an ancient scar.
You cared not for my feelings,
I knew it then and know it better now...
My wounds may have been camouflaged
under heaps of another world's lies
When I asked for you to never not stay around.
And expected you would understand why.
I let you smother my innocence then,
And let you asphyxiate me again now...
Do I never learn, I ask myself.
The silence between us, answers it all.

Sometimes people assume.
That they are better than another.
That they understand you.
That they know how to resolve a problem.
That they can change how you feel about them,
By walking away...
Sometimes people assume there's an end to their misery,
While it continues to grow like mold
Slowly, steadily...
Until the noose holds on tighter than ever.
And strangles and stifles and sits there,
Assuming there was life left, in what it just smothered.

-

Visit your past
only to learn from your mistakes,
not to make more.
Don't waste your matches in lighting up spaces,
that may not help you see the road ahead.

-

Some people just aren't reliable.
It's not your fault.

-

It's not a big deal. I've dealt with your ghosting before. The sound of you slamming the door on my face is loud and clear in my mind, even today. The nights that wept into my pillow, and the hopeless mornings that mourned about waking up to yet another day... Each hour distinct in my head, screams within my burning sides. So why did I let you do this to me again? Why did I ever think you would behave any different this time? Why do we forgive the ones that don't deserve it?

A man could know it all
and flaunt his superiority.
Another could know it all
flaunt his superiority,
and make others feel inferior to him.
Yet another could know it all,
flaunt his superiority,
make others feel inferior to him,
and yet feel insecure about his own self.

And some could know it all,
share their knowledge with others,
uplift the less-privileged,
treat all with respect and dignity
and earn himself the respect.
