What if?

And she shrugged,
as he hugged,

he clenched his fist,
it was all just mist,

he felt the punch,
when she didn't eat lunch,

she grew up,
and he remembered the time she drank from his cup,

time flew,

when she got a call,
her world did fall,

as now she wanted a hug,
but all she could see was him lying on the rug.

Flowers.

Tired of feeling the same,
everything was a mess,
wanted to know the truth,
she knew it was a bitter fruit.

months passed by,
still she couldn't  find the answer,
what did she miss,
after the last kiss.

the day in the chapel,
and her wonderful white gown,
blood stains all over ,
a tombstone, a flower.

~ Mansi Gupta.

Promise?

Promise, that's what he said,
breaking it was all he meant,
I know forever is a lie,
but it's better than a goodbye.

that day I woke up,
I felt different about us,
we had changed the pace,
as all we needed was some space.

~ Mansi Gupta.

Where was I wrong?

I never saw her again,
well,  let's  go to the start,
the part that touched my heart.

Like the old movies,
when things are paused,
for some cause.

To stop and stare,
back to the present,
when she wasn't present.

Was it that long,
that it lost the touch,
or was there no thing as such.

She had the last word,
it was a deep cut,
and my mouth was shut.

I was young back then,
time flew,
and yet I had no clue.

Where was I wrong?
~ Mansi Gupta.

Chance.

We wandered during dusk,
we stood by the moonlight,
that day the sky was different,
it was different for us.

We sat still ,
The shimmering stars,
Blurred vision,
We lost the will.

A walk back in time,
With a smile,
With tears,
We talked till nine.

Afraid to grow old,
We feared,
What we had lost,
We feared of being bold.

A glance,
Burdened,
With terror,
That we forgot to take a chance.
~ Mansi Gupta. 

Done.

And we are quite,
we give up the real fight,
we stay in the shade,
when our world fades,
we cheat,
as we accept defeat,
a heart so young,
still so quickly done,
from west to east,
we forget to unleash our inner beast.

Our planned future

We always plan for the future, worry about the future. Are we even going to be a part of "our planned future." Think about it. We plan way ahead and forget to enjoy what we have at the moment. We forget to do certain things that won't or might not be in "our planned future." We think that relationship/friendship is just something to be kept aside. It's always about the future isn't it? Why don't we think of moving along with the people we're currently seeing on a daily basis. Of course, that doesn't fit the definition of moving on or ready to bare changes. Well, if you don't see certain people in your planned future, then they are not your kind of people.
