I Said Goodbye

By Shubhra Pathak

I said goodbye while coming back

Missed the phones vibrating texts

Swam into the deepest of the sea

To figure out the way back to me

Couldn't think of something else

When I am here, I want to run to the part

And yet here I am hiding in my bed

Caught an illusion or mirage

Weaving it slowly into the realities of art

But there was dust all over the floor

And so, I entered the blurred vision

Cause it was a circle with no endings

Gotta find that road which I should be taking

My fears grew stronger than a thunderstorm night

Waiting for a dazzling morning to come and pass by

The strings on my guitar became my only friends

And the blurred vision was here to stay till the end

And so, I ran to see if I could come back to me

Roads covered with green leaves

That I can see from the corners of my eyes

But right now, I am living in my mind

Cycling paths have racing cars

Like this poem, everything revolves around

And come back to where it starts

And so, I said goodbye while coming back
