Poems On Sadness - Blog Posts
Those moments when...
I've learned to live alone
And loneliness doesn't get to me anymore,
Except in those moments....
When I wake up in the middle of the night
And find the space on my right
Empty and cold...
When I'm going to work
And on the way pass the abandoned factory
Where we used to sneak up as kids...
When I'm frustrated at the world
Or confused what to do
And my first thought is to call you....
When I'm laughing hysterically
And I suddenly stop the moment
Because you're not here to share it with me...
When people tell me their plans for the night
And I think about my home
And the silence waiting there to greet me....
When I'm lost in my thoughts
And subconsciously call out your name
And no one is there to answer me back.....
When I see a shooting star
And I wonder in silence
If you're still wishing on them
Or have you stopped believing in wishes?

( Hindi alert)
Akele rehna sikh liya maine,
Ab to tanhai se bhi ek rishta sa ban gaya hai.
Shibaye un lamhon main....
Jab adhi raat ko aankh khul jati hai
Aur tumhare jagah suni bistar meelti hai
Jab baton hi baton main tumhari yaad aa jati hai
Aur tumhare na hona ka ehsas chubhne lagta hai
Jab anjane main ye lab tumhare naam le lete hain
Aur jabab main inhen sirf sannata hi milta hai
Jab koi sabal pareshan karta hai
Aur jabab main tumhara naam yaad ata hai
Jab mandir main kabhi dua mangne jati hun
Aur har dua main tumhara hi naam hota hai
Aur jab kabhi bhi asman main
Ek toota hua tara dikhta hai
Main sochti hu,
Dunia ki kisi kone main
Kahin tum bhi ise dekhkar
Mujhe yaad to nahi karte?
Kya tum mujhe yaad karte bhi ho?
I do not know
if it's the world that is grey
Or is it me who's colour blind
Am I seeing the picture in pieces
Or did people really forget how to be kind
Drowning in ambitions and greed
Are we really leaving the humanity behind
Maybe I failed to appreciate
The life that was given
Or maybe it's the world
That doesn't deserve me.
