Like Every Other Heart

I have seen what affection looks like and he bears none for me.

Perhaps he plates it differently than the rest?

A wishful thinking that has my hungry heart scavenging for what is not there.

We were friends first

Then I fell

And he? He fell too

But for another heart.

He has done no wrong, committed no crime yet my heart looks for reasons to hate.

And when it finds none it does what every heart has done,

It breaks.

Silent Witness

Silent Witness You're the one he asks for You're the one he needs. I beg he forgets you, Whom he longs for, Because he's my only greed. I built him temples, And watched as he worshiped you instead. I built worlds for my creed, But you were the deity all along. I will ask you to leave, And watch it all unravel. I wanted him to abandon the temples, But I watched his body rot by your feet. So I ask you not to leave, For you are his creed. I will watch from the sidelines, For my heart will bleed Every time you pass me by. -Riya

Worse Than Betrayal

Together forever, that’ s what we said. How naïve was I to think you will stay , keep your word just because I was keeping mine. My dear , it is not a tragic story of love but of a broken friendship. Losing a lover sure is tough but have you ever lost a friend ? A friend through the highs and lows , now all that remains are unfulfilled vows. Promises we said we would never break I saw them go down in flames. Their charred ashes a bitter reminder of the time I held you dear. People change , yes they do but never thought it would be you. Memories run through my mind of those gleeful times And I cannot decide, do they bring me comfort ? Or merely add to my pain ? You ...

DARKNESS OF YOU

NOTE: This poem is dedicated to my beloved late grandfather. We shared a really special bond with him and his death has left us in peril. He was my personal counselor and understood me in ways that nobody can.
