Nitisha Writes

n.  the  act  or  process  of  imparting  or  acquiring  particular  knowledge  or  skills I have been educated since i was two Since I was first taught to say abc For 20 years, I crammed the principles of physics and learnt the laws of nature But in things that matter, I am still pretty naive I  read every novel I found in the school library I have learnt to read newspapers and write letters to the editor But i still dont know how to read expressions on the face of my lover I can list all steps to follow in case of an earthquake I know that you are not supposed to add water into a sulphuric acid beaker But I still havent learnt to avoid the guy who will break my heart every time we are together I know the 1100 words that Barron says I need to know I can quote Shakespeare and recite pi upto 10 digits But I still don't know what to say to you when you visit I try to act matu...

n. Madness; aberration I need to stop falling in love  Every single time you text, email or call me Because I know that, soon, you'll crush Those very same butterflies that you made flutter I need to stop falling in love With every smile you smile at me Because, though not as loud as actions, Your words still cut deep through my heart I need to stop falling in love With the silvery sound of your voice   Because, who even knows When, if ever, will I hear it again I need to stop falling in love  Weaving dreams of a future that will never be I need to stop falling Before I fall too deep

n.  Mark left on a table by a moist glass You smack my hand away  As I try to pick up a mushroom from the pan “It’s not done yet, wait for it to be on your plate.” I laugh and pick it up anyways.  You laugh and pull me close. I tell you about my day Complaining about the unfairness of life You tell me, so what if the world is vile As long as we have each other, Who cares where all else goes From the corner of my eye I can still see us laughing and loving But you’re gone the moment I turn around All that remains is a ghost of you Calling out my name They tell me to say goodbye You’re in a better place, they tell me I don’t care, all I know is I am alone I had you and I lost you Now nothing could be the same

n.  The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another I don’t believe in miracles, The shiny tales of wonder, Eluding all of physics and nature. I don’t believe in miracles, The glorious stories of sudden joy  Imparted by a stroke of chance. And yet, each moment,  I am with you  I desperately wait for a wonder  Defying the laws of existence I don’t believe in miracles But looking at you, so far from me,  I wish that I did.

n . the desire to hold on to time as it passes He was slain by the frost that shone in her silver eyes He perished at the whisper From her ungrateful lips Never had he imagined To see world where he now stood Never had he thought His home would be his grave Had he spent years in nothingness Waiting for this unfortunate day Had he wasted his youth So could die unhappy in this age The war was now a comfort The bullets would have been kinder For the love he left had died Leaving emptiness in its stead
