Poem - #22 | Feelings In a Lifetime

Runaway Lover

I'm afraid of your feelings
As I even run away from my own,
You try to catch me
But I'm away from your love zone
And as I try to settle down,
I stumble on my own
For I'm a runaway lover,

Never wanting to be known

~ Sneha Chhetri

Ask Yourself

What are we?

We are neither something,

Nor nothing

We're just swinging

On the thin line in between,

Which I'm afraid to let go of

For the fear of unknown

And which you're already

Letting go of,

To embrace the unknown.

~ Sneha Chhetri.

Astray

I showed you my naked soul

Putting down all of my walls

Without leaving anything

I gave you my all

Thinking you could take it

I poured out my darkness

Along with my soul

But you walked away

Leaving my heart astray

What do I do now,

What do I say,

Where do I find my heart

Now that it has gone astray?

~ Sneha Chhetri

Stories

A series of untold stories

Follows every one of us,

Stories that are waiting

To be unfolded and told,

Stories that might

Crumble down your walls as whole

And stories that might make

Your heart wither in cold

But those stories are,

What stays forever with us

As all that we're made up of are stories,

And all that we'll be are stories.

~ Sneha Chhetri

Letting You Go

Those days were precious for sure

But I am letting you go now

For I can't keep trying to hold onto

Something that is not here anymore,

I did put up a good fight

I did try to keep you in my sight

But now I need to move on,

I need to live my life,

Even thought it might take time

I know that I will be fine.

~ Sneha Chhetri
