Destiny.

We were destined to meet and end up this way.

Now we are miles apart, I know.

But a part of me still wishes to be yours.

Seeing you with someone else is not easy but it’s not that difficult either now.

But I still hope that you find happiness.

Even after the Catastrophe you brought upon me,

When you left me alone with reasons unsaid.

Dead, I felt for a while.

I even felt like going in an exile.

But then I gathered my strength and decided to accept the fate.

And I realized that happiness can be found everywhere, and that it’s never too late!

Strength.

Yesterday I went for a stroll at dusk.

Alone I sat near a lake, listening blues.

I gazed upon the shining moon,

While contemplating about this life.

I wondered how this life would’ve been,

If I never met some people?

No heartbreak, No suffering, No pain.

I would’ve even enjoyed the rain!

But then a voice whispered in my ear.

“You still can, Why do you think you can’t?”

It was my conscience speaking.

It reminded me about the lessons I learnt from them!

Then I realized, those lessons are what made me strong.

They gave me the strength,

The strength to withstand against all wrong!

-Abhishek Gupta

Frivolous.

I heard you’ve been talking.

Talking about love.

Talking about us.

But now it all seems so frivolous.

It was your decision to part ways.

And now there’s nothing left for me to prove.

Can you hear the beats of life, my love?

It’s time for me to get the groove.

I feel euphoric and I’m in its captivity.

But why are you still holding on to the negativity?

Why are you trying to prove me wrong?

Get over the decision you took honey and be merry.

Don’t let your life become a sad song!

Reincarnated.

I lived every day, the reason was you.

I smiled every day, the reason was you.

Now seasons have passed away.

And everything belongs to the past.

The promises? It all faded as the time flew.

It’s been a long time since you left.

But I still stood there waiting for you,

Stood there for a long time and wept.

I died every day, the reason was you.

I hated my life, the reason was you.

But my love, now I’m no more the same.

I have now become inviolable.

The suffering, it made me unassailable.

It’s like I reincarnated, I’m all new.

And the reason for this?

Darling, The reason is again you.

-Abhishek Gupta

Dark side.

Remember the Rage you filled my heart with?

It has led me to an unknown dark plain.

My head is now brimmed with your thoughts, again.

But it’s no more about love, honey.

The pain you brought me and the suffering.

I’m going to give it back to you.

I have a heart which is now turned black,

Black as coal,

And that coal now burns all the time.

And with it burns my feelings and my pride.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of night,

And I see myself looking at me with red eyes,

Red as blood, open wide.

Darling, I’m bringing the horror to you now.

There are no rules which I’m going to abide.

It’s time for you to see,

To see my dark side.

-Abhishek Gupta

Beast.

It was too late,

By the time I realized who you really are.

By the time I realized life is not a love song.

I chose to wait for you, I chose to love you,

Never in my life had I been so wrong.

Set ablaze by the flames of agony,

And a Heart filled with rage,

Do not come near me, my love.

For I have a beast inside, waiting to hurt you,

Locked up in a flesh and bone cage.

-Abhishek Gupta

Knowledge.

I made some mistakes in my life.

We’re all humans and we do that all the time.

Our mistakes do not define who we are.

It helps us to grow as a person.

We learn from it.

I do not seek power but knowledge,

’cause I yearn for it.

Love is an imperative part of life.

It gives us strength to be.

To this I agree.

But knowledge,

It’s the knowledge that really sets us free.
