Come Back Home

You miss me, I see it

If it’s wrong, let be it

We’ve lied for too long

Through poems and through songs.

Taylor’s music doesn’t heel anymore

Her touch, you don’t feel anymore

Come back home, my love

It’s time to come back where you belong.

Life has stopped making sense

I’ve hit a dead end

Nothing excites me anymore

For breakdowns, I’ve stopped keeping score.

Your eyes don’t linger, they ache

I know you see the hearts that we break

But lying to yourself isn’t gonna fix it

She’s not the one, I know you’re afraid to risk it.

We’re yet to make mistakes many more

Sure the wounds are still more than sore

These hearts still pump, not joyfully though

We can’t forever keep denying the cure.

We are meant to be together, I know you see it

Calling me dumb isn’t the solution, come out and be it

Life is scary and we don’t get a lot of it right

Give me another reason love, start a fight.

You slip when you’re drunk

Your walls seem to have shrunk

Making sorry eyes, that desperate lip smack

Go home and cold again, she mustn’t see that.

Holding her by the waist, does she smell like me?

We cannot keep haunting like this till eternity

Come back home my love, sit at this table of two

All else is just static noise, forever is me and you.

You were a soldier but the war is over now

The general did you dirty and walked home bestowed

Your body aches my touch, don’t deny it that

Let me soothe your broken skin, take off that duty hat.

You lean on my legs intentionally, of course, I see it

If it was six months ago, I would’ve got fits

But I know how your heart calls out my name

Come back to me my lost pariah, let’s stop playing games.

Don’t blame yourself for things you can still make right

Stop waiting months to feed that hunger of my sight

Might have erased the physical memories, its time to use the final weapon

Stop killing yourself everyday love, you can still make it happen.

I Ache To See

I woke up 45 mins late
I took a burning hot shower
Wore my favorite lipstick
Trying to centralize all my power.

I try my hardest not to think of you
Think of someone to look forward to
I try my hardest not to miss
The sweet feeling of smiling at you.

I reach the metro station like my bus stop
The wait is similar for both the journeys
Except this time I can’t promise myself
I won’t let memories hit this early.

I reach my college, put my bag down
I have about ten faces smiling at me
I smile back but little do they know
No one compares to the face I ache to see.

My class is going on and so is my mind
With all its reminiscing I try to stop
The teacher gives me a dreadful glare
As all of my sweet dreams end with a pop.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not dying over here
My heart is a mess but my head stays strong
Only if I could forget your face
Only if I could let go of all the wrong.

I am a strong girl, I contain myself
I sit surrounded in the canteen right now
I can’t let you go how easily you let me
Would you do me a favor and teach me how?
