A deadly silent
scream is your broken-heart falling into the abyss of pain. It swallows you in
its mess and you think solitude would heal your scars but loneliness eats your
insides and breaks you with a constant yearning for love.
What does mourning
sounds like? Water freezing quietly, like an empty soul weeping bitterly,
aching for someone to make you finally breathe after moments of breathlessness.
The cruel sense of humour is that you do not die of heartbreak even if you so
desperately wish to. When you are shattered, you reside in the maze of days
that are no more while idle tears leave their home and fall freely haunting you
day and night. Amidst the fairy-tale of yellow pages, your heart battles the
scariest war- the battle of letting go.
You stand beside
the window watching the devastating darkness in the sky and feel like the night
would last forever and when you see a star shooting across it you close your
eyes instantly for that one wish to happen. And desperately long to believe in
miracles even though knowing a wound lasts for a lifetime. But grief is
something that annihilates the fire of hope and heartbreak is a poison that
starts from a specific coordinate of the heart slowly slipping into the
locations of every good feeling. Hence, fear seeps in instead of relief, fear
to be broken in hundreds of places with hundreds of people.
And in that brief
moment of heartache and blurry lines of hope and pain you resolve to give up to
stand in a place of stillness. A state of high where you’re neither happy nor
sad, just utterly and completely still unaware of all the motions around you.
You start creating an impenetrable fortress around your vulnerable heart, each
brick camouflaging the emotion that you can’t even recognize.
Then long after the
reasoning with affairs of choking chains, the curse of realization sets in,
that nothing would ever be the same again. And you learn the subtle difference
between holding hands and chasing hearts and realize that kisses aren’t
contracts and presents aren’t promises. You decide to find a link along which
you can bare your soul to. You wait for the light to creep into the darkest
corners of your heart and through tear soaked eyes you watch the stars come in
the same night. While the spells of aching and sleepless nights slowly become
absurd, you wish for a rain to wash away the dirt of scrambled faith and a
shattered heart.
