Evanescent


Hello pretty people!!

Life has been pretty maddening for a while for both of us, so neither of us could post anything in the last week. Arpi has returned and will be back to regular posting asap. And I'll be back when I find my sanity.

Saying goodbyes has been the most difficult thing for me throughout my life. I have serious attachment issues, be it places, people, things...I just get attached to them too much (much more than is healthy for me) and it gets really painful when I have to bid them goodbye and move ahead. I know its really stupid trying to hold on to everything that you love, its practically impossible and byes are inevitable. Many things changed in the past few days. I had to shift houses and say goodbye to my old house, a place I really really loved very much. The new place isn't the same, the people around are different and so are the walls that are around me, they are not even the same colour :( Plus , I had to say goodbye to a friend whom I love and treasure very much. He is irreplaceable but then sometimes voids are better than bitter memories. As they say, everybody comes with a purpose, some people are meant to stay and some are to be let go of. I guess he was one of them. Its really sad but then moving on is what life is all about.
I was terribly upset about these stuff and when am in a turmoil, I just wake up in the middle of my sleep and scribble stuff  in my notebook that doesn't make any sense to me when I read it in the morning. Here is one such piece and as always, it is incoherent and misses all the punctuation marks. I didn't add any later. 

Evanescent

Pretty bubble
Shining and glimmering
Glistening like a rainbow
The sun shines down
And pop it goes
Just like that illusion that was you
But alas, my love was not like it

  1. That's sad and most of the good bye's are always painful ......but life can be summed up in three words "it goes on " all the best with your new place :) :)

    1. Thanks Vinisha :) Yep, that is exactly what life is. All you have at times are sweet memories from the past. :)

      Yes, exactly !! That is exactly how I feel at times...stuck in this weird sort of pause mode...everything around you seems running past and you stuck in time.

    1. I already shifted the house and yes, am still in Kolkata :)
      Oh you remember the pet thing?? :D But sad as it is, even though I can get a pet but there won't be anybody to take constant care of it,most of us don't stay at home full time :(

  5. That is truly life and I can relate to it...as I myself am going through something similar but as someone has just said in the comments above that is life - it goes on. And change is the only thing persistence in this world.....!!

    Well I also do wake up weird hours but sadly cannot remember what I was thinking to note it down...:)

    Loved your lines..hugs to you..I am sure we both will be soon out of it. Back to our usual chirpiness!!!

    1. *hugs you back tight* yes, this too shall pass and we'll be back to being our old selves :) btw the lines I scribble at those weird hours have nothing to do with what I was thinking...i mostly write them in a state of half sleep when most of the ideas are not even logical.

    1. Hello there!!
      Yeah see you sounds and feels much better than a bye but when its the last time you'll ever have or see the person, a bye is more appropriate, I suppose.

  8. letting go is always difficult and it's all the more painful when you are aware that there's no looking back. but honestly, i feel that having a chance to say it is better than not getting to say goodbye at all! you're poetry has always been well expressed, i liked this one just as much as the others! :)
