Do Not Come To Me

 


Do not come to me with your pain anymore,
I will make it thunder, I will make it pour.
I have no interest in lending my ear,
Your cries will drown, they’ll disappear.

Keep your shame, your sin, your lies,
For I’m no longer the one who tries
To understand, to soothe, to heal.
I’ve carried enough—let me feel.

I do not want to play the role of mediator,
Nor listen to your constant judgment later.
I have zero desire to judge or control,
All of this drains the depths of my soul.

I am not your mother, nor your friend,
Nor a shoulder for your heart to bend.
I’m done with your sorrow, done with your strife,
It is draining the very breath of life.

You see, I’ve carried all of you for too long,
Your burdens weigh me down, I can’t stay strong.
I don’t want to watch your endless shows,
Just to get along with the world you know.

I don't wish to see your pain displayed,
Replicated on screens, endlessly replayed.
I’m done with empathy, with trying to see
The broken pieces of your worldview—let me be free.

So save your soul, do some good,
Don’t come to me, I’m misunderstood.
I no longer wish to bear your load,
It’s time I walked my own road.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
