I Can't Breath You Anymore

The sun set six hours ago,

but the clock in this kitchen is stuck in your absence.

I stand here, under the flickering yellow bulb,

its stutter began the day you left—and it hasn’t stopped.


The half-moon hangs in the sky,

watching me through the window,

feeling me without you beside me.


The floor catches the moon’s reflection,

staring up at me while my feet leave wet prints.

The hum of the refrigerator trembles against my skin,

distant dogs bark, digging silence deeper into this room.


I walk to the fridge,

my eyes pausing on the ring you left behind.

The cold bottle of water burns in my hands,

my fingers freezing without your warmth.


The moon watches through your favorite corner,

as I take a sip that cannot touch my thirst for you.

The bulb flickers faster,

throwing me into darkness where your memory hangs.


My breath falters,

the last word you spoke pressing heavy in my chest.

In this moment,

I realize: I cannot breathe you anymore.


I cannot even breathe.

The Room Where I Wait

I sit in a room where nothing moves — except my breath and a small memory that knocks like a stranger. The fan hums like a prayer I never learned. The walls don’t talk, but they listen. More than anyone ever did. I don’t cry. I just sit. Like I’ve always done. Like the chair knows me better than my own hands. Some days, I think the light left me. But then a soft breeze touches my face and reminds me — I’m still here. I’m still here.

VOID

 Empty. Empty of mind. Empty of heart. Empty of everything. There’s nothing left in me. I want someone — anyone — to fill my heart with feeling. Any feeling. It doesn’t matter what kind. I just don’t want to feel… Empty. Because this emptiness reminds me — I’m not alone. I’m lonely. I walk through the dark night of this world, searching for something to hold. My hands — empty. Maybe there’s a torch in them. Maybe there’s a thought in my head. Maybe. Maybe. But I don’t feel it. I don’t see it. My mind — void. My heart — hollow. I stare at my book. My own heart, written across pages. Feelings live there — but not in me. I tear the pages. One by one. They remind me: ache. pain. memory. The paper makes a sound, like it wants to speak. But my heart doesn’t listen. My mind doesn’t care. I rip every page. Now, only nine white pages remain. And in my hand — a black pen. I grip it tightly. And I scribble: VOID.

"Look Into Your Soul, Ravi "

RAVI — LOOK INTO YOUR SOUL. Look into your mind.   Look into the veins that carry your blood.   Look at the life you're living.   Look at where you are.   What do you want?   Where do you want to go?   What do you want to create?   Ravi — every question leads to one truth:   You want to write.  You want to become a storyteller.   You want to show the world how you see it — raw, unfiltered, unapologetic.   One bad day, one downfall, won’t collapse your dream.   You’re too sensitive, yes — but that’s what makes you powerful.   You live in a dark room — but that room shaped you, carved you into this.   You’re not alone.   Look at the moon — it’s alone, but it still shines.   Look at the rising sun — it rises alone, but it still illuminates the world.   Nothing will stop you.   You think differently. You see differentl...
