love@facebook.com

Can't breathe 
Can't sleep 

 There is a lump in her throat 
That just wouldn't  go

 Why doesn't  he answer 
The messages she lovingly  sent

 Her  love 
She sees him online 

 Yet when when she starts typing
He disappears from view

 He was always there for her 
So patient and understanding

 Ever since they had met
On facebook.com

 She could contact him anytime 
And see him typing back

 This lasted one whole year
The bliss was beyond words

 He was her whole world 
She needed no one else

 What had happened  now
God! Did he find someone  else?

 He stopped coming  online  
At their usual  times 

 He stopped reading her messages
Seeming not to mind

 Her hands stopped in mid air
Her head felt very light

 Her brain said it was her very soul 
That had sailed out in the night

 He had blocked her!
Oh,he had blocked her!

 She just couldn't believe  it
That he had actually  blocked her!

 She fast opened her WhatsApp 
Her hands all a tremble

 His last seen  was not visible 
His dp was blank

 How could he do this
How cruel could he be

 He was her life
She had given him her very soul

 She sat still; debating 
Should  she give him  a call

 Or hold her ego
And pretend she was fine

 Her heart cracked wide open
Blood oozing into her guts

 She was not herself  that day
She sat immobile  in class

 With her body giving attendance 
And her mind dead in shock 

 She held on till evening 
Not giving  him a call

 Let him not think she cared
Cared enough to give him a call!

Laughter

I laugh at inappropriate times Much to my mortification I laugh, a weak laughter When I truely mean to cry At times, in great anger When I attempt to snarl I break out into giggles Much to my opponents indignation I laugh in confusion I laugh in genuine fear Yet when I hear some jokes My laugh seem to need some coaxing How I do not know But at some happy times When my heart laughs in joy My eyes just tear up My laughter has a mind of his own He does not listen to me He wells up unbidden I capitulate in resignation !

Emotional Turbulance

A stinging behind my eyes The unshed tears  I will not shed them For I'm  well over the pain I often stand apart And watch my emotions  broil Wondering  at times Why my eyes still  feel the strain Who should I  trust My eyes or my heart Do my eyes reflect my heart Or independently cry I thought I was well over The  angst and the hurt But it creeps on me  unawares At moments,weak ,unguarded At a touch of genuine solicitude From another unbidden At a look of true concern that says What happened to you, my dear I look upon these feelings  The metacognition empowering I am my own lab rat I search for meaning within Telling myself I am strong  I pull  up my spine  Push back my shoulders  And hold my head high

Face to Face

I delude myself In many little ways I smile When people mouth inanities I nod Even when I disagree To argue is exhausting He  will not He sticks to his values And retorts hotly He will not smile If he be offended He glares at my follies And shakes his head in disgust My mask slips a little When worn too long I then grow silent Giving myself time I don it again and smile He looks at me with knowing eyes A trace of disbelief arching his brows I look at him and smile cheerfully My face carefully made Who is wiser He or I?
