Society.

In the name of society,

You do such deeds.

You feel no pity,

What is it that you need?

Is it in you inherent?

We call you our parent.

Our dreams are crushed,

And when we try to talk,

We are hushed.

With all our dreams left unsaid,

A part of us inside, cries.

A part of us inside, dies.

Our heart is the place where the broken dreams now reside,

We’re now just bodies breathing,

Because our soul has died.

Imperfection.

You are nuke.
I am a desolated isle.
Disastrous together? No.
We’re the perfect combination of imperfections.

Remedy.

I thought it was a remedy.

Because everyone said it was.

A remedy for the pain I had in my heart.

That’s what I heard love was for.

But instead, yet again.

It intoxicated my heart with a toxin.

That killed me even more from inside.

This remedy, now I realize, wasn’t worth the take.

As it gave me even more heart ache.

Her eyes

That day was rainy,
Thoughts in my head, I had many.
Amongst the crowd of strangers,
I saw her eyes.

Beautiful, but they were uncanny.
The way she looked at me,
It brought me back to sanity.

Then she got lost in the
crowd of strangers,
And yet again,

I was left in vanity.

Ishq.

Haste toh hum zarur hai bich logo ke,
Tumhe kya pata is dil me kya kya dafan hai.
Log ishq toh kar lete hai khushi paane ke liye,
In masoom panchiyo ko kya pata,
Ishq ka doosra naam Kafan hai.
-Abhishek Gupta

Tanha.

Tum sath na ho toh pehchane raaston pe bhi main khota hu,
Khushi ke har lamho ko ek sapne mein main sanjota hu,
Tanha chalna hai is Raaste pe ab mujhe zindagi bhar ke liye,
Aksar ye soch ke bagair chehro ke main rota hu.
-Abhishek Gupta

Nothingness.

In nothingness inside of me.

It’s so cold and dark that there’s no sight.

But I need to move forward so I got to hold on to something tight.

Yes I’m afraid to explore what’s beyond this darkness.

I got to go out so that I could see the light.

The world will crush you and hurt you if you will not get up and take up your fight.

Not even your loved ones will stay with you forever, till the end.

No there’s no god, so there’s no one he’s going to send.

You got to trust yourself because sometimes the person you love the most is going to resent.

And if you’ll trust others,

In the end,

All you will do is repent.

-Abhishek Gupta

Maybe. Maybe not.

When my thoughts were shadowed by clouds,

You were there to put me out of my doubts.

You loved me,

You put me out of my miseries,

Then left, Unspoken.

So that I can drown,

Deep in the ocean of misery,

Of which you had pulled me out?

Don’t consider this a whine,

I thought you were mine, you were supposed to be my sunshine,

But you burned me to the core of my heart, like you were flames of hell.

But don’t worry, I’ll be fine.

Maybe one day I’ll shine,

Maybe one day you’ll be mine.

Maybe,

This is what I incline.
