Boy without a name

Never thought she will find you in the game of chance,
Smiling under the trees surrounding the picket fence.
You made everything so lively it’s no surprise,
Even the kitchen table knows how much you love to dance.
She always wonders if this is a dream or if her mind’s alright,
How come she got so lucky with…
The sunny afternoons and the beautiful breezy nights.
There is always this question in her head,
How could someone make her laugh like this in the middle of a fight.
with a hint of sweetness, with a touch of rain…
Oh when you came by her side, what a wonderful life it became!
I know it sounds weird and I know it sounds lame,
but I’ve been writing stories of a boy without a name.


How come there is so much peace inside a neighborhood this dense,
She fell in love with the way you appreciate her wonderful friends.
She was so scared to show you the scars…
that were carefully kept hidden somewhere in her past,
You dear mysterious boy, you have your own ways,
How in the world you made it so easy?
She forgets everything else when she sees your smiling face.
Drifting off in your warm embrace,
her heart was never the same again…
I know it sounds weird and I know it sounds lame,
that all this time I’ve been falling for a boy without a name.

The last straw

I was always asked if I need anything,
but the expected answer was only No…
Every question was an accusation,
And I never had any evidence to show.
Control in the name of care, dominance is what they are trying to conceal…
They will always be responsible for how they act, no matter how considerate they feel.

Never… ever… mistake a quiet soul for an empty one,
The people I needed the most taught me I need no-one.
When I picked peace over drama & distance over disrespect,
They got mad at me for trying to keep my sanity intact.
A year can do a lot to a person,
You will know when your perseverance become feeble.
That doesn’t necessarily mean you need therapy dear,
You are just surrounded by the wrong people.
You cannot give people what they are incapable of receiving,
Sometimes the only option that remains for you is silently leaving.


Today I’m thinking about the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day,
When we are stuck-for-life, at someplace we would never wanna stay.
I agree will power is real, but it needs the right conditions to thrive.
Sometimes you will have to let go of the same person many different times.
You keep forgiving them until you learn to unlove,
Often even a decade will fall short, but sometimes just a moment is enough.
Don’t ruin a beautiful day because of someone else,
Every time they are cruel to you, do something kind for yourself.
I heard somewhere that you know you have healed,
When you can tell your story and it doesn’t make you cry…
Being scared for so long has made me cold-blooded,
I have now finally accepted my fate without asking why.
Yes, it is possible to miss something but never want it back,
Changed behavior is the only apology – it’s high time to understand that.

Fool’s Gold

I was listening to this song from the famous band One Direction – Fool’s Gold. The title got me curious about the meaning behind the lyrics. After digging a bit into the song on the internet, I found the meaning quite interesting. Here it goes…

Fool’s Gold: A yellow mineral that is found in rocks (generally iron or copper pyrites) and bears resemblance to gold, but is not valuable if compared. Some people have been fooled by it because they thought it was actual gold, hence it has been given the nickname “Fool’s Gold.” This is also used as an idiom and in poetic sense to describe a love with someone who is only using you, or taking advantage of you; but you are still in love with them.

It is strange how naïve we all become when it comes to feelings. We build a fictional world in our minds that impairs us from the reality of the person we are actually with. Love exists, and we all are capable of it…but sadly it is not meant for everyone! We shut down everything and everyone around us that show the real face of the world. We are so enchanted by the comfort that we get from that relationship that we oversee the fact that it is not even real. And when that person gives you a false impression of the true love you have been craving for ages, you can’t help but fall for their Fool’s Gold.

I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless,
I get lost in your beauty,
And I can't see...
Two feet in front of me.
And I know in my heart,
You're not a constant star.
And yeah, I let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for your, fool's gold...
And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you've met
But I don't regret
Falling for you, fool's gold...
Yeah, I know your love's not real
That's not the way it feels
That's not the way you feel

Someone you adore…

It is quite strange that everyone have a type of person they like – standard set of traits that attracts our attention towards anyone. No matter what the ideal list is defined by our own selves, by the society or by the people around us; we can’t control the predilection that we genuinely feel towards anyone. And this holds true not only for our love interests but for all kinds of relationships. You might still remember that one rebellious kid in your class, the silent backbencher at the library, the outspoken girl who used to get into trouble every other day, that one family member with a competitive streak, or may be that one humble celebrity you love to stalk on social media.

Ever given a thought why are we so infatuated with them ? They are not the ideal role models with a perfect personality. But they do possess some or other idiosyncrasy that we admire because somewhere deep down inside we want to be like them. We all fell in love with people who manifest the qualities we wish we had. They somehow represent an unfinished dream from our childhood.

Maybe our hands are tied or maybe we are just not brave enough. Whatever the reason is – the heart wants what is wants! And the mind learns to live in a reality created with a hint of distant fantasy. Even though it sometimes is subconscious, we crave for a certain way of living. But instead settle up for a life where we pick up the pieces of our imagination from every other individual we come across. These people leave a deep impact on us and we remember them for a lifetime. Confuse it with obsession, crush or platonic love, the fact is that it is a worshipful affection felt towards Someone You Adore.
