The Wife

 


I know that you don't like me,

Even if he was the one who first wrote to me.

You never really understood

Why I cared for him.

So I kept my distance.

Because I could never have him

The way you do.


He only remembers me

When he's feeling blue.

We started off as friends,

And perhaps that's

How we were always meant to end.


He chose you

To be his wife,

And he's grateful

You became his life.


I exist only in his memories.

You lie in his embrace.


You stand beside him

In sickness and in health,

Through the trenches and life's wealth.


And I would never wish

To be the cause of pain,

Or the reason

Love begins to strain.


But sometimes I wish

He had kissed me,

Back when I believed

We were meant to be.


Because you get to share

Your tears with him.

I hid mine

Whenever life turned grim.


You will always have him.

Yes.

You will always have him.

I will simply

Be

 A memory.

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.

Stay Away

Stay away, stay away Keep those hands away Stay away, stay away I am not on display Stay away, stay away I just want my name on the hard black clay Stay away, stay away I am a kid who just wants to play Stay away, stay away All these memories are like a never-ending screenplay ~ Kanika Kaushal ✨ The Luminous Muse

Until Noon

I can feel the distance, But my body craves you. I am howling at the moon, Hoping you love me until noon. It’s winter, and everyone is covering up, But I will drop every single layer for you. Will you make the bedpost creak? Like the way we break our Duolingo streak? Or will you be my Count, And leave your marks on my neck? Will you drink away my life force, Or give me your immortal kiss? Who would care about saving it for daylight? We are creatures of this starry night. Will you save me with your sword, Be my Guinevere’s Sir Lancelot ? These boys keep talking about getting high at the pub. Would you do me the honour of the Mile High Club? Will you track my curves like an F1 circuit? Or be like kids fighting over the gully cricket? Come get me, while the night is still young, And we erase the distance with our tongues.
