Disgust.

I like this disgust swelling in me, 
Pulsating like heartbeats; steady and sure. 
Burning up my insides akin to a volcano waiting to erupt. 

I like this turbulence
I like how I am jolted back to reality. 
Like walking out of the theater after 'Gravity'

No, it is not bad, if you come to think of it. 
I have given flesh and bones to this mythical drama. 
I have worked on the cast, written the story; 
Rehearsed the script. 

I like this disgust that is swelling inside of me; 
because this is not the event, it is the after-after party.
The aftermath, 
Walking the walk of shame the morning after. 

I am waiting for water to spill over; 
I will blame the glass for its limitations. 

I am waiting for the volcano to erupt. 
I will then blame my heart for its cowardice.

to what end?

I hate it when I have to make words rhyme
It seems forced and false
I hate it when I have to justify my text; 
I think right, left or middle aligned works just fine 
I hate it when I have to hate you when I don't want to 
I hate it when I do
I hate it when I do not. 
I hate it when I do not know my limits, 
I hate it when I do not know where you end and I begin. 

I hate how I feel when you look at me, 
I hate it when you don't 

I hate this hatred more than I hate hating you 
I hate you more than I hate loving you.

strange

Let us meet in a stranger's dream. 
A little strange you and a strange little me. 

For you, I think I'll make a garland of memories
You'll get me a bouquet of joy. You, my bouquet of joy. 

A happy little heart sings a happy little tune 
A heavy little heart in a strange little dream.

PS - I am NOT a fan of Karan Johar movies; but the line - 'jaise dil ka pet bhar gaya ho..'  has stayed with me.
