bitter without the sweet
you are the aftertaste of what
could've been a sweet memory,
and i think i’m the only one who
still savors every sweet moment
despite the acrid words you left me with.
~K.T.

I removed my soul and set it aside to be read on a Sunday unlike today. Today my lonely is heavier than the earth and the weight of it has been killing me slowly. Time is birthing more time and I don't know what I want to do with the excess I already have.
- Sunday Poem, Bad Poetry and This Loving, Sakshi Narula

I was just a kid
I was just a kid.
I wasn't supposed to see that.
I wasn't supposed to do that.
I wasn't supposed to feel that.
I wasn't supposed to hear that.
I was just a kid.
