Some times like these

Published on by Harpreet Chhachhia1 Comment

Sometimes, some times like these
Stop your heart, make it burst;
Pain filled with no release;
Nothing to quench this thirst;

Some times like these, sometimes,
Bring memory like a storm;
Tears become broken rhymes,
No longer alive, no longer warm.

A year

Published on by Harpreet Chhachhia1 Comment

It’s been a year that forgot grief in shards,

Where my heart burst in another becoming;

I’d nothing left to lose but abstract nouns,

Which I realize were never welcoming.

You were one of the cleanest emotions:

Subtle and complete, filled with the abstract

I’ve never been able to understand,

Despite how the heart would add or subtract.

Time is the cruelest entity I find;

It destroys the heart and corrupts the mind;

And though I am surrounded by the new,

I just close my eyes and simply find you.

For you gave meaning to what can’t be seen,

In that meaning, you will always be seen.

I wish

I wish: People wouldn’t cause such pain –
The heart would just cease to complain –
Hope would seem a little less true –
I wish I had never known you!

I wish: people said what they meant –
We could make do with what was sent –
Memory forgot what was true –
I wish you never said I love you!

I wish: life gave a kinder sense –
Fate had a quicker recompense –
Faith chose to give back its own due –
I wish I gave up all of you!
