An Empty Chair

“An Empty Chair” By  Pratiksha Misra From morning cereal, To an evening affair, What never was around, Was an empty chair.. From an angry state, To a cry for an extra bread to spare, What never was around, Was an empty chair.. From the fresh water fish, To the piping hot biryani, Served in a silver dish, From crying babies, To toddler care, From trying outs, To wedding outfits, What never was around, Was an empty chair.. From laughter roar, To midnight chuckles, From quieter score, To quilted giggles, From a spicy gravy, To sour taffy, From bitter to sweet, There was always dessert in the fridge, And a smiling nudge at the topmost layer, What never was around, Was an empty chair.. Now since you are gone, There is no winner at the dinner, No one asks what you would Like to eat, No one sits and repeats, How a dish tastes, It all ended too soon, How is that fair? That now instead of you, What we have is an empty chair.. *On this occassion of Thanksgiving, what my family craves for is ...

Will You Love Me The Same?

If I told you I am older
Will you love me the same way
If I told you I am a cold person
Will you love me the same way
If I told you all that I haven't told anyone yet
Will you love me the same way
If I told you I get depressed pretty often
Will you hold me the same way
If I told you I cannot impress anyone everyday
Will you spend time with me the same way
If I told you I can be pretty challenging 
If I told you I am aging and there are wrinkles under my skin that I hide with makeup
If I told you I am not adjusting and don't talk to
anyone if I don't have to
If I told you I don't dress up on days and eat cereals from the box in a messy way
Will you be with me the same way
Are you still listening or you have run away
If I told you I don't forget easy
And can stalk you for days making you feel uneasy
If I told you I can be dangerously hunting insects
And can jump in muddy water for hours
If I told you I am not afraid of blood
And I can fight until I hear the sound go thud
Will you still sit with me watching sunset in the park
Hold hands while mosquitoes fly around and overlook the dark
If I told you I don't cry
I keep trying not to but if I do I do end up lying that I am not
If I told you I don't have a lot of friends but when pushed to a crowd I pretend I am having fun
If I told you dark stories of memories that I have lived
Will you still respect that my feelings can be genuine
If I told you I can stick to a cave and have conversations by the grave
Will you be bothered by my interests and just leave the premises
If I told you that I don't want to be seen
If I told you that life is pretty when you are hidden
Will you still come hide with me or want me to make a continuous effort to blend in 
If I toldyou, looks like you are gone
I didn't plan on telling you everything that I just admitted
But looks like you just made up your mind, blindly as you just want things to be repeated
Even though it's a circle of being cheated by the one
you promise to love their inner most
