Always in a crowd yet so alone.Nobody knows, whoever does just has one thing to say " move on" everything else is still the same but then this everything else seems so different.... so new..... so weird.
If only you could tell people how this "everything" was everything but what you had ever wanted to have.How it is to live a life without that one person who was supposed to matter the most . How with things the way they are, make you remember the happy times but you arent happy about those happy times. How you never realise when that sweet smile turns to tears and you taste the salt instead of the sweet numb crumbs.
How you find every possible edible item in this whole world and try to consume it in hope of consuming the anger the frustration and the never ending gloom that has spread its wings and has engulfed every strand of hope that might try to escape into your life.
How you wish you had one of those MIB gadgets to erase your memory. How you lose the wish to even shower or dress up .The daily fight to fall asleep that usually ended with you either in the sofa sweating profusely with what people call nightmares at 4 am . And then gazing fixedly at the rotating fan gearing up for a similar fight to gather the bones together and make them movable ready for yet another day .
How your best friends talk about the latest crush of theirs who am sure is some handsome hunk but you never turn your head to check. How it hurts but you smile.How it tortures and yet you brave a smile ...a smile from which no one can ever find whats hidden beneath .
How you get scared of things that you never thought would trouble you. How you find solace only in sleeping beside your ma who is puzzled about what happened to her once brave daughter. How you haven't figured out how you'd tell your ma that you still are brave its just not the sort that would win you bravery awards but is necessary for you to sustain .
He died but nothing else ever died. A face that doesn't exist anymore to comfort that worried brow or smooth the wrinkles on it. A voice you'll never hear again. A joke that'll never make you laugh again. and a knot that'll take a lot of patience and time to untie .

i am thankful to read it in a hurry,, it would have made me cry otherwise ,, m touched,,
ReplyDeleteYou know.. we find different ways to torture ourselves. and yet to heal.. we have to realize ourselves that he/she died.. we didnt..
ReplyDeleteThe fact is.. no matter how much ever we wanna go back.. we have moved on.. unbeknownst to us.. we have.
For you see we are living breathing ppl.. We evolve or degrade.. if we havent moved forward.. we have moved back wards.. we have moved on.. either ways isnt it?
So you have a choice not in moving on.. but in how you move on..
You could be glad that he was in your life for so long.. and made your life better.. that its better to have known him.. then not having any idea of his existence...
Or you could curse life that he never did come into your life.. that it was better to have not known..
but tell him would it have been better?
To not have known that person? whoever he is...
The thing is.. losing out on someone makes us bitter..
but we lose on ourselves .. on life.. on future every day and we dont care.. why?
i'm at loss of words....
ReplyDeleteLife teaches us whatever is needed to live.and Time heals everything...
ReplyDeleteand quite good piece,never stop writing.After a while,you will find solace in it..
