Numb


Let me stay numb

Maybe for a little longer

Maybe for a day, a year, or for an eternity


It is easy that way

I don’t need to think of you

And I don’t need to feel the pain


I can’t anymore, you see

I can’t anymore


So just let me stay numb

For a little longer


I see you in shadows

Trying to break the window I built


Yeah, yeah, I did not build a wall

As I had to see you once in a while


You came, wrapped in the pain I could not bear anymore

I could not breathe anymore

I could not see anymore


So you know, right, I had to go numb

At least for a while

So I could still think of you, in between,

For a while…

Like a muse

Like a river

Or like the rain


And when the pain gets unbearable

And the grief gets so heavy that I cannot carry it


I have to… have to get numb

Even if for a little bit


Let me stay numb

Maybe for a little longer

Maybe for a day, a year, or for an eternity

She believed in books, Monday routines, and exactly three coffees per day. But something about the quiet way he smiled when she asked if he was okay made her pause, just long enough for the universe to slip something into place, as if something fluttered in her stomach, may be for a nano second.  Their meetings on the bridge became routine. Maya read books she barely remembered; Arjun watched the river or sketched in a frayed notebook. He was charming in a broken-boy way, effortlessly drawing out her curiosity.  "Moved her...

The Last Letter : Part 2

Part 2:  (...On the floor: another letter with her name on it... Read Part 1) Read Part 1 Another letter Maya, I’m sorry. I can't stop myself. I shouldn't care for you… but I do.   I shouldn't have fallen for you... but I did. If you're reading this, I've already left. ---A A sudden creak made her turn  A man in a dark blue jacket stood in the doorway. Not Arjun, someone else. "You shouldn't be here," he said with a  trembling voice---not with threat, but with fear. "Where is Arjun?" she demanded. He swallowed. "Do you know what he did? Years ago? The reason he keeps moving from city to city? You think he is sweet? You think he is gentle?" She took a step back, comfused. "What are you talking about?" The man stepped closer, raising his hands animatedly. "I'm not here to hurt you. I've been tracking him since the last incident. He gets close to someone--fixates on them, and... and it never en...
