SPRINGING

People are
learning
to grow out
of pain.
I’m learning
to grow
with it.

/kritika.

INFERNAL

I reek of misery that you bring.
Not once has your heart wept.
Not once have my eyes dried.

/kritika.

ENSEMBLE

Let’s just rescue
each other
from the
ordeal
that is
life.

/kritika.

LUCENT

There are some
awakenings
only nights can
bring.

/kritika.

UNWARY

“Fall in love again”,
my heart said.
There is so much
left to
ruin.

/kritika.

PSYCHE

With you,
I’m okay being
the mess
I am.

/kritika.

MANIA

My one and only
madness
was being
able to make
you
smile.

/kritika.

THROB

Maybe,
I’m made
for anyone
but you.

/kritika.

STROKE

I remember you
the way
sand
remembers the
sea.
You bring
and take away
my blues
simultaneously.

/kritika.
