As soon you hit the minute
when you are alone
with the thoughts
and memories
your regrets
unpaid dues
you will realize
the things you’ve missed
the words you’ve skipped
how badly it feels like
tearing you apart
in every molecule of your being
wasted and departed
you will never escape
as it held forever
within you
settled.
You have left a stain
deep in my throat
it tasted like a bitterness
hard to swallow
it still remains though
the look
the feel
touches
carried by a string
a memory
Oh, how bold
Perhaps
it will go
somewhere
I don’t know
when
or how
Sure thing is
definitely
devastating
and I can see it
coming.

If only we were born armed
A shield encircled our being
None dare to harm
Our skins won’t be fragile
Nothing can bruise us
We would walk with pride
As there is no thorn
Neither tears nor blood shed
We would dance in the rain
Without being afraid of the lightning
We would stand as tall as the sky
Stars are within our grasp
…et cetera et cetera…
“Ssshhh.. you are born naked!”
