Her Coffee

 She sipped on hope, but the taste turned bitter,

Left the cup half-full, her heart even emptier.


Summer breeze made her leave her work to have a cup of coffee to compensate for all the cold cups. She had a few sips and left the mug when having a coffee was all her pleasure. The reason for looking outside the window is to calm the thunder inside the room.

"Home Felt Whole"

Home Felt Whole Lonely night & broken heart in a winter cloud. Give me space because I want to be out of the race, Old pictures with torn letters, long emails & beautiful cards. Hard to believe was it Real? Like. “it’s been a while”. Took them back to the wall of memories. Time flies to nurture wounds, knowns by men in the veil. I know it’s rude how I treat, but was it fair to lie that made me cry? You change my empathy for the empty world. I tried so hard to be the same call  of an aid.

And a solitary turn, until home felt whole.

Don’t chase their age with questions. Let joy be unmeasured. 7. If someone is saying they are preparing for an exam, say a prayer, don’t wait to critique their result. 8. If someone is saying they’re happy, pray it lasts. Don’t dissect it with doubts. ...

What Was Never Learned

I never learned that people are not meant to stay, that closeness does not guarantee permanence, that hands held today may be empty tomorrow. I believed friendships had roots, not expiry dates. I believed laughter meant loyalty, and presence meant commitment. I never learned that parents, too, are borrowed, that even love wrapped in prayers can be taken by time, leaving rooms full and hearts hollow. Those who once called me their favorite where did they go? Their words still exist, but only as memories that do not answer back. The irony is heavy if years ago everything had been placed on the table, if silence had been replaced with truth, I would have stood there still choosing, still staying. But the past does not stay quiet. It waits in the heart, collecting moments, waiting to be felt all at once. Some who say they stand with me still carry old conversations where my name was not protected. They walk beside me in public, but leave me alone when...
