Srishty Shaleen Poems

I return to you
I return home
all things i'd left behind
I return from war
...

I am not an emotional person,
yet when i see my mummy and daddy waving me good-bye
my breath gets caught in my throat and um unable to speak throughout my check-in procedure.
...

It is harder to hav found and lost
Than never found at all...
Easier to be born on your knees
Than to rise for once and fall...
...

Maybe you will..
Remember me..
the memory..
the shared bubble which seemed forever..
...

Silence someday will bleach the pain...
make the splotches of dark scarlet on my shirt sleeve dissappear..
but silence is a huge price to pay for the love of my pride,
for the security of my vulnerability,
...

Maybe you will see tonight,
the draught that lies inside me..
the flowery laughs, the watery eyes..
all farce. All lies.
...
