Weight of The Words..

Words slipped out of my mouth
Like the grains of sand in a lose fist
I couldn’t realize how much I’d said
Until I was taken down by guilt

The pain inflicted by what then seemed merely words
Left behind only silence which is now resonating
Even after the blow of the harsh words lingered
I did not realize the cost of this shrewd trading

Trading like it is with emotions and feelings

That always when something is given
Something for sure is taken away

I had stung like a snake
Lied all the while
Trust was traded then
But separation was the highest price to pay

The venom had spread
And so it left traces in the words
But that was out of anger
And selfishness was what made me blurt

But after saying all that I felt
I found peace momentarily
But soon the moment got over
I saw you had turned around
And every time I called out for you
I saw only your back facing me

The emotions had flooded in my mind
Like a sudden violent wave
That came unannounced
But took almost everything away

It left something behind
It did not take everything
It left the awkwardness and regret now
And with every new wave
It brought a new negative feeling

They were no patterns drawn in the sand
They were no pebbles or shells
These were the wounded rocks
That would always remain this way

It was like the endless sand
Trying to soak in the endless sea
Even with the endless efforts
Some would merge, but some sand will still be

A part of the shore like it is now
And like forever it’ll be..
