That Smell, I promise.

In my dream, I ran.
I ran into his hands.
Then he dissolved.
Only his smell was left.
I sniffed hard.
But this was a smelless dream.
Very vibrant.
I woke up feeling the same feeling.
Wanting to go back to that hug.
To his smell.
To the colorful green leaves that framed us,
Like a perfect photograph.
But, as much as I shut my eyes...
It never came back.
Love is an endless game.
Bottomless pit.
Darkness awaits.

But the smell, I promise...
Will engulf my lost being...
Till I take my last breath.

You were what I should have!

Every single day.
In rain or sunshine...
You were there.
Staring right into me.
I was intrigued then.
Someone loves me?
No, what a fool he is.

Now, I feel I was heartless.
Should have been bold.
Should have had courage.
Should have smiled back.

Instead.
I gloated.
I felt so happy that I gave it away.
I should have hidden it from the world.
I should have kept it between us.
I gave it away. And I am sorry.

All these years. I never knew.
I made mistakes. I kept running.
I kept thinking of new ways to destroy my self.
Good god. What have I done!
You. You were what I should have.
What have I done!
It's too late now.
I can only say sorry.
So here. A piece of my heart.
The whole of my soul.
I am sorry.

You were what I should have.

Thoughts. Random.

It was never easy.

The darkness brought those terrible memories back.
Not depression, the doctor told me.
But the thoughts kept coming back.
Did I want to be depressed?
Did I love myself a little more?
Did I think no one understood and so I had to be the way I was?

I am writing to get the maddening loud voices in my head out.

She called again.
But not about the money this time.
The father called. I am sure it was the money.
What am I, an ATM?
YOU NEVER CARED.

He used to come to that stop everyday, you know.
I dreamt of him the other day.
It was a colorful dream.
But I woke up sad again.
I lost him. To your ego.

Did you ever think of why I kept falling?
Did you ask why I cried?

No. Your ego stood bloated,
Too difficult for you to talk.

He. He loves me.
Not in a usual sort of way.
But he does.
I hope he was different.
Like how I would have loved him to be.
It seems less, you know.
I wanted more.

Maybe my end is near.
I keep thinking of what people would say about me, after I was gone.
Hope someone is reading this.
And I hope it is someone who loved me. Deeply.
My heart says, cry now.
Tears form a pool near my eyes. How easy.
I want you to know.
It was not easy.
First my childhood.
Then my love.
My adult self...naive, torn and cheated.
When I found love, I thought...
It seems less.

Madness, wasn't it?
My life.

My epitaph, my dear...
Must read...
"She lived in love and madness fuelled her spirit."

Feel relieved now.
Live. Love. Peace.
