Depression Test

I sent him a depression test result to see if he cared
He responded with Hashtag - #LeaveMe #GetRidofMe

And yet again

And yet I dreamt about him again,
Pining to see him once more

We love the ones who destroy us
and those who don't love us back

Someday

Someday we'll find out why we're together
Or maybe, we'll never...

Care

I care about mum, and dad too
I think that's about it really
I never saw any other tie flourish

A South Indian Mother

while mothers kept loving sons in the north
mothers kept loving daughters in the south

I am glad

I am glad you kept pushing me away
I learnt the art of staying away, from you

I am glad you kept disrespecting me
I learnt to respect myself more than you

I am glad you asked me to stay with your folks
I learnt parents can never be replaced with namesakes

I am glad you never took part in my festivities
I learnt how I could still have fun without you

I am glad you never said you loved me truly
Because that taught me to love myself everyday

So I am glad you came in my life somehow unwarranted
But I now know who I am and can move on without you.

My partner

my partner taught me
It's easy to love
But being loved
Is beyond this lifetime
