Hitting the 180

Posted on by Shreya Joshi Posted in Poetry, Writer lifeTagged , ,

Cold blanks approach us:
And it’s getting scary.
The silence, once used to be bliss,
Amidst our fiery passion,
Now it’s just stark cold,
Aftermath of our heated discussion.
 
Oh dear, where did we go wrong?
When did we hit a 180?
Your beautiful brown eyes,
That held only love for me,
Now give me an icy stare,
Laced with pure rage, even hatred.
 
Your hands that touched me,
With the utmost tenderness,
Now land on me with such force,
That I lose consciousness.
When did you stop loving me?
Can we still be salvaged?

        I was wondering too, for a moment, since I read earlier about couples having difficulties being locked down together! I mean arguments etc, not necessarily abuse, although I know that has increased too.

    Your subtle articulation of the pain is powerful. Spoken more in recognition than in fear, it allows the reader to install their own experiences and see themselves in a different light. Well written, dear friend! 🤗🥰❤

        Damn! Look who’s saying, believe me till now I only had one comrade blogger of mine, her name is Chandni Asnani.
        She is such a beautiful heart that she can rhyme anything and everything.

        I’ve been in touch with her since 2016 and after so many years you’re the second person whose poems I appreciate the most after Chandni.

        Believe me nothing could be better than this.
