Clementine

It's the things

that we don't say

that really pulls us

back to each other.


I see eternity resting behind your lips

I feel a longing behind your eyes

but I also sense a disaster

that'll wash over me

if I ever try to reach 

beyond your surface

because I know that

you'll never be able to understand

What's underneath mine.


It's the things that 

I almost say yet don't

that kill me after we say goodbye

and walk our separate ways.


You quieten my demons.

my insecurities collapse

when you show your faith in me 

you make me want to be myself

but I am not the only one

whose name rests on

the tip of your tongue

like a prayer

like a song 

you cannot stop humming

like the name

you'd happily call your own

for as long as we're here


I won't ever be you

what you are to me

and I am okay with that

I am okay but that alone

is not enough.


I wish it was enough.

I wish you didn't matter

so much, to me.

I wish you didn't have

so much, power over me.


But once that, is enough,

I am not ready to cry again.

For too long have I ignored my demons.

It is time, to have a talk with them.

This is really deep. . Especially the last one when you said, it's time to talk with them, I could feel it.

I am hoping to answer all those questions that I get through this post.Every time I tried to convert my friends with ‘stupid entertainment choices’ into an anime fan, Not a lot can be talked and said in the time I am around them so I decided to make a post, just for explaining what I meant, In brief, So here goes... What is anime? The term anime is a Japanese abbreviation for the word animation. To the people who are new to anime, they might confuse it with any other cartoon, but it is not so.

Minus Two

I remember so clearly the first time I saw you,  proudly, confidently striding through the classroom.  yet sitting quietly and minding your own business as usual. At that moment I hated absolutely the idea of you.  To me, you were the epitome of a privileged life.    I imagined the wonderful childhood you had  with happy confident parents who praised you and gave you all that you needed.   You later came to speak to me and introduced yourself.   I felt so beneath you and insecure.    How could I possibly live in a world with people as happy, confident, and secure?   I resented what you stood for.  But over time, I started noticing you looking at me,    your eye-catching mine, and lingering for too long. At first, I thought I had imagined it and that it was all in my head.    But then I found myself starting to, seek you out,  stay back at the canteen if I thought...

Slow Knife

In the shadow of shared laughter, there used to be a yellow flower,  but lines were blurred, boundaries crossed,  trust was shattered, a bond lost. Each betrayal, a wound so deep,  Yet still, memories haunt my sleep.  closest one's hurt the most they say, and you my little one have proved it again. A slow knife cuts the deepest they say, never thought I too would get it one day. Your lies were always so so good,  know you are the reason it's come to an end. And all that peace & harmony,  I built for years,  Is gone now and left me in tears I fought, I tried, but had to part. A heavy weight upon my heart.  We're family and nothing can change that, But we'll never be friends, and that's a fact. Do you walk your path alone? Or find solace in a home unknown?  I wonder often, in the silent night, If you've found your own guiding light. Though scars remain, aching yet,  I wish you peace, without regret. For in the echo of what we once had,...
