I miss you.

I miss you.

Like a desert misses the rain,

They say there’s no gain

Without the pain,

But I don’t want this pain.

I ache for you (want you) so much,

So much.

It can never be explained.

My heart is withered and dried up,

It’s time for us to rise up,

You’re the rain that is going

To set me free.

We may be apart right now,

But our love is going to grow.

My heart belongs to you,

And this my love,

The world is going to know.

-Abhishek Gupta

I wish.

I wish, there was an escape from this reality.

I wish, I could stop these heart pounding thoughts in my head.

I wish, I could get back to sanity and love my life again, as all the feelings inside me are now dead.

I wish, there was an escape from this prison.

I’m imprisoned inside my head.

I wish, Sometimes, I could fly like a free bird,

And go far away from this reality,

In search of a new life,

Which may lie ahead.

-Abhishek Gupta

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.

-Abhishek Gupta

Imperfection.

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

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.

-Abhishek Gupta

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.

-Abhishek Gupta

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.
