To be loyal

It's hard to comprehend,
Almost difficult to understand.
This grey scale is utter rubbish.
Two colours matter. Black and white.
This or that.

Loyalty, fealty, friendship, fidelity.
Just words or do they mean something?
Levels of betrayal are levels of hurt,
The baseline the same, the blood the same.
A or B.

It's easier in grey no? Non-commital.
Excuses are readily available, believable.
Can you really convince yourself?
That's it's alright, that you can forget???
Right or wrong?

Maybe it is easier to let go.
Move on as they say, be lighter, grudgeless.
What about the scars then? Those wounds?
The ones you can't cover up, the ones that won't stop bleeding?
What then friend?

Sugar rush!

I bounce, dance and twirl,
Skip along the purple cement road,
Lost in every celestial swirl,
More of you I try to hoard.

Glinting joy, you crystalline being,
The taste of you is so sublime,
My addiction to you never leaving,
I wish that you could only be mine.

Shapes, sizes and in multi-colour,
You warp me up in heavenly bliss!
Smelling sweeter than any flower,
I'd run through fields for your sweet kiss.

My love, can you even understand
Your power, your saccharine strength?
With trembling fingers, I grasp your hand,
Fly me across this dimension's length!

Absorb me, make me one with you!
With the feel of you, I'm obsessed!
Everything I say is absolutely true,
I want you, nothing more, nothing less.

The person I used to know.

We can blame it on the distance,
We can say that we lost touch.
Life caught up with us, we're busy
Too busy to look each other up.

I wonder what you look like now,
If your voice is deeper, your smile bigger.
If you've grown taller, if you wear heels.
Do you still like the colour red?

Do you still love telling stories?
Have you painted anything new?
Do you still like Swat Kats?
Wasn't Razor your favourite?

Why don't we talk anymore?
You're my friend on Facebook,
But I haven't said anything.
Only wished you on your birthday.

Would you want to meet?
Do you know what's up with me?
Can we call ourselves friends now?
Or are you that person I used to know?

I want to find our friendship again,
See who you've become.
I wonder if you're in the same place,
If you still visit Lalbagh on weekends.

Maybe, one day I'll run into you.
We'll say hello and smile.
Will we recognise each other?
Will we wish for what was?
