Poem: And Again, Everything Seems Okay To Me

Trigger warning: Mention of physical harm

You were the beat of my heart,

separation from you made me sick

but now

again everything seems okay to me…

I started smiling, laughing and cheering myself up,

The drugs I’ve been taking to forget you

Are no longer in my pockets,

The cuts in my hand, which has a voice inside

Are no longer bleeding,

I am okay, with your words

Which is saying that you are not mine,

The day, when everything felt messed up and broken

It was me who was sitting silently and smiling,

Thinking Why I am doing all this?

I realised the gift you have given me was tears

I can still feel your touch on my bare skin,

But for me everything is fine

For me everything is bearable,

Because I’ve understood that you were not meant for me

I was only the person who was struggling to get you,

You have peeked into my soul,

But never felt it

I was broken, that no one can mend me,

I know you are okay, but I am fine.
