Rhyme and Reflection

Spinning life’s chaos into laughs, stories, and verses — because therapy is expensive

Seesaw

Thursday, March 05, 2020 | 1 minute read

The day scampers away
the night refuses to go away
you have walked away long ago
yet your memories refuse to move away

The thunder storm drenches me completely
every drop bringing stories of you tucked in it
as I struggle to hold them in my palm
It collapses and escapes from my clutches

You upset with me
me, angry at my heart
in this delicate state of mind
neither of us can comfort the other
nebulous is the world that we primed

my sagacious mind wants to let go
the irresponsible me holds to you tight
this tug of war has no real ending
leaving my life seesawing in muddled light
