Once in a while you come across someone

and its like sighing in words and sweating in alphabets

its like our neurons are extensions of each other

its like our skin were sewn from the same fabric

~

its like,

if we were born a hundred years apart,

we could be reincarnations of each other

~

every time i am around you

i feel like a bomb ready to explode

so i take a deep breath

and implode a few thousand times

pick up my pieces and try to

put myself back some other way

but you’re like a coffee spill on an empty jigsaw puzzle –

no matter which way I put myself back

it makes sense – because it has you.

~

and i feel so stupid writing this about you

~

 the train is gone and i want to jump off the train

but the doors are locked and i am not strong enough to break the windows

its like going somewhere and nowhere at all

like rowing on a gentle little pond

each stroke cancelled by an opposing wave-

going somewhere

and nowhere at all

~

the train is gone, and the train is gone

and the train is gone, and the train is

gone

~~~
