Don’t leave me broken hearted tonight.

Tonight, love me like there’s

Going to be no tomorrow.

Tonight, make me forget

All my pain, all my sorrows.

I know, you’ve made up your mind.

I know, you’ll walk past me, just like a stranger,

When you’ll see me tomorrow.

I could’ve been a part too,

But you chose a life without me.

You chose your dreams over my love.

Time is a healer, it’ll heal my heart too.

It might take some time, but I’ll be alright.

But tonight’s not that night.

Let’s fill this night with love, with light.

// don’t leave me broken hearted tonight //

Stop testing me.

Stop testing my patience.

Stop, before I unleash my wrath upon thee.

I do not care if I loved you once.

I’m tired of me getting disappointed,

Over and over and over again.

Stop, before I forget what you were to me.

I’m giving you one final chance to flee.

Stop testing my patience.

Stop testing me.

Sorrow. Despair. Grief.

We’ve got so many synonyms for sadness.

People often ask me, why am I like this?

Why am I so quiet, so melancholic?

I just smile and walk away.

Y’all don’t understand it, do you?

Happiness is a part of life, but so is sadness.

Come, take away the melancholia from me.

Ever wondered, then who would I be?

Imagine, taking away all the water from the sea.

Do you get it now?

That’s what makes me, me.

Melancholy brings me glee.

Only you can turn yourself

Into the thing you want to become.

No one else will do that for you.

People would come and criticize you,

’cause that’s the only thing they can do.

They will never understand you or your dreams,

For all they know is how to deem.

Your future is like a clay pot, to which,

Only you can give shape.

For you’re the potter of your future.

Do not depend on others, my friend.

Because only you can turn yourself

Into the thing what you want to become.

-Abhishek Gupta

Some people may not be

With us today, but we

Still feel their presence,

And we always will.

They’ll always remain alive in

Our hearts and memories.

This is their legacy.

-Abhishek Gupta

People have this weird habit

Of showing others that they care,

Even when they don’t.

Never fall for that.

Believe in yourself,

Not others.

Best escape from the melancholic thoughts in your head?

•

Go for a ride. Wander. Get lost in the woods instead of getting lost in those thoughts.

An adventure awaits you.

I’m scared.

I’m scared of living in this cruel world.

I’m scared of again getting hurled.

I do not fear to admit this anymore.

Yes, I’m scared. But aren’t you too?

I’m scared of the fact that, from people,

So unattached, now I’ve grown.

I’m scared, because love has

Always brought pain to me.

But I’ve always wished, when I grow old,

I want to wake up next to the love of my life,

I’ve always wished to have a small house.

A small house on my own farm.

But I’m scared that I’m going to

Die alone in my own arms.

I still feel blue.
It’s all murky, the future.

I feel like screaming.

I want to be free.

Free from the nightmare I’m stuck in.

Too tired of dwelling in the past.

Every night a tornado hits me.

A tornado of memories,

And it makes me feel lost.

Lost in the echoes of some voices.

Voices which are very familiar,

But now it belongs to some strangers.

No matter how hard I try to stay jovial,

No matter what I do.

Nothing changes for me.

I still feel blue.

-Abhishek Gupta

Respect yourself.

Respect yourself enough to walk away,

From the things that makes you unhappy.

Loving someone is alright.

Not being loved in return is also alright.

But if your love is being disrespected,

Do not stay quiet, do not lose your sight.

Nothing’s more important than your self-respect.

So, respect yourself enough to walk away.

Be wise, my friend. Walk towards happiness.

You know what’s right for you and what’s not.

You are your own Guru.

// Respect yourself //
