She's Still With Me

She came tonight, a whisper soft,  
As I lay reading, lost in thought.  
Her warmth curled close, a phantom grace,  
And time dissolved in her embrace.  

The book fell silent in my hand,  
Her breath was there, I swear I felt.  
A tear broke free, then came the flood—

Ex's

A smeared reflection 
mirrors off my memory,
of her
and how she took
2 hours every morning
to paint, draw, brush, curl and spray
H
her appearance on.

But she could not even
make up
2 minutes of breakfast chatter.

Miming herself to me.

Thank God for windex.

Just Talking

I’ll fib to you to keep your gaze fixated on me, force a laugh to keep you daff just so i can have a bit of you.

The First Love Story

She held the sky in her hand
to unveil the first morning
blue and trembling
like love before its name.

He tried to catch a glimpse of her,
to unveil a closeness near
soft and golden
like warmth before it learns to appear.

Orchards of fruits obscured the gaze
leaves hung like listening skin
So, desire plucked them
like want before it learns to begin.

Peaches began

Miss You More

I'm missing you all over again
And it's not because you gave me hope
It's not because I love you more now

I miss you every day, especially at night
And it's because I gave myself hope
Because I saw you, now I see you everywhere

Lust, A Dangerous Master- Part 01

I lift my eyes from the place of my struggle,
From the dark corners where battles rage unseen.
My help comes from the Lord,
Maker of heaven, earth, and the depths of my heart.

Lust has destroyed more than wine ever could
It cloaks itself in pleasure,
But its bite is sharper than steel.
It kisses the lips, then devours the soul.

It

The Silence Between Us

Will things ever go back to the way they were?
I took for granted those smiles, those laughs
and now I don’t see them anymore.
How do I undo what’s already done?

Did I let go of your hand somewhere along the way,
or were you gone before I even knew?
Your voice sounds different now
does it mean you’ve fallen out

Just a Memory, Not Your Misery

You told me it wasn’t too late
that I could still mend the cracks.
But it feels like I’ve been losing you
long before the truth escaped your lips.

Only God is my ally now,
and to Him I surrender everything,
so I can have your love
back again.

How did I become your misery?
How did my words turn empty?
How did I become…

Peace Without You

Today I learned
that being me
always here for you,
always yours in intimacy
was never enough.
I did not give you
the peace your soul was searching for.

It shatters my heart…
how did we come to this?
I learned today
you were looking for comfort
in someone else’s words,
and all this time
I thought I was your world.

Have I taken you for granted?
Was it my

Too Much

I loved loud.
 Not in volume —
 in intensity.
 In showing up.
 In remembering the little things you forgot you ever said.
 In texts at 2am because I couldn’t sleep
 without making sure you were okay.
I loved in playlists.
 In forehead kisses.
 In “did you eat today?”
 and “text me when you get home.”
I loved

A CARNIVAL NIGHT

         We two chose a night out on our first date
         joining street Carnival on procession.
        All were in festive mood to celebrate
        from some

A TENDER VERSE

To you I write
This tender verse
My dearest
Lover at first glance.

I was no believer
In love struck on sight
Calling it mere heat
Not heart. But you changed that.

Words may fade
Ink may dry
Even the sky may lose its blue
But with you, I feel whole.

So I write
With ink steeped in longing
Softly asking
For your hand, if you're willing.

unforced errors

In tennis,
Love means nothing.
Off the court,
It’s everything.
 
Tennis and love start the same—
Your pulse quickens, hands shake.
Your first high school match,
You lose the opening service game to love.
You would’ve felt less gutted
Had your opponent eviscerated you.
 
Tennis is a game
Of little lives and quiet deaths,
Each break point converted, electric—
Every winner a shock to the heart.
The points lost

Love Songs Don't Sound As Good As They Used To

Have you heard
the one about the
birds and the
bees?

I never much liked
it myself, because it
soured the taste of
our innocence.

Or maybe our
innocence soured
the taste of us.

So much for happy endings,
and so much for love.
So much for innocence,
and so much for us.

You’re an old slow dance.
You’re an old song.
And if I’m being
honest—

I still think back to that
time I

Even in Pieces, I Stayed Yours

English Rhyming Translation
© Krishika Upadhyay | 2025

I’m breaking down, in lashes' shade,
In silent dreams, I wish I stayed.
I try to rise, on roads that smile,
But thorns have gripped my feet a while.

Yes, thorns are biting where I tread,
And tears now rest where sleep once spread.
It feels I’ll shatter, fade away,
Or lose myself in you someday.

I
