Broken Doll

As I pass by the staircase,
I see my sister's broken doll,
limbs apart, tangled hair,
and the dirty frock.

I feel something in her
that I could identify with,
I start to feel like a broken doll,
shattered in countless pieces,
in a world where care does not exist,
and empathy is far far away,
people run after what they want,
and walk over others.

As night approaches,
I lie supine on my bed,
eyes on the ceiling,
tears trickle down from the sides,
amidst my broken dreams,
I think of what I ask for,
and what I get,
I am a broken doll.

Winters

Winters remind me of all the happy days,
Of moments that wont ever be back,
People that I’ll never come across,
Places that’ll never be the same,
And feelings I won’t feel anymore.

My heart sinks with the nostalgia,
That surrounds my heart and mind,
As I sit mesmerized among my books.
I miss you
And life goes on
I look back with teary eyes
And then I smile:

You’ll come back,
We’ll laugh the way we laughed,
We’ll make plans the way we did,
We’ll cry together

You’ll be all well again,
And will call me the girl ‘who was a hospital’
And I’ll remind you of the ‘guy who was a hospital’

I’ll try to put a stop on your drinking coke
You’ll make a joke of my ‘sandwich-a-day-diets.’

We’ll try to have sometime alone,
Talk of the same things we always talk

I’ll repeat my sentences
You’ll try patience

We’ll argue and you won’t talk
And you won’t talk for days

I’ll miss you
And then I’ll look back with teary eyes
And I’ll smile:

You’ll come back
And we’ll laugh the way we laughed.

Dreams

Faintly scented world,
strewn with dreams,
dreams one-of-a-kind,
so subtle,so indulging,
so cosy, so wild.

Nobody can comprehend,
and I cannot explain,
how they touch me now and then,
how everything lights up from within,
my room walls, the faded curtains,
the dressing table dusty,
how everything becomes glitters.

What colours blind my eyes,
what lilt stirs my words,
I gaze at things unknown,
with sunken eyes and smile!
