Please don’t come again.
I am good, if not at best, without you.
Please just go away.
Please, just let me be.
It was really difficult
To disentangle from your black chains,
It was claustrophobic
To always be in your embrace.
When you are around
I am not happy,
I am not myself,
I am someone I never want to be.
Even your shadows are too dark.
When you are around,
I can barely see straight,
It is all just a maddening gaze.
When you are around
Every single thing is black,
Every thing is not beautiful,
Every single thing is not acceptable.
Even the smallest thing disturbs me,
Every petty thing gets on me.
I cry and crib over every insignificant thing,
I try and trip over every attempt of smiling.
When you are around
My friends turn to enemies,
And I try to find solace in those frenemies,
Failing at the attempt of even breathing.
I just can’t see through anything.
My vision blurs
And it is difficult even breathing
I drown and drown absolutely giving in.
I have told you,
Please don’t come back
My vision blurs
And I see only black.
It is very difficult
To disentangle from your black embrace.
It is always choking
To be tied to your steely embrace.
Please, please don’t come back
I am good, if not at best without you.
Please just go away,
Please, please just let me be.
PS: Before anyone asks, this is not dedicated to anyone. So the ‘you’ in the above poem is not a person, if it can be called a poem at all.
