We are 2 broken souls who perfectly fit


You reek of debauchery,
Of wild sex on cheap sheets.
Of half-drunken nights,
Mindless flirting on the streets.

And yet I find you comforting,
I know you won’t last long.
You are that pop-chart number,
Not a meaningful song.

There ought to be a heartbreak,
For you to put your soul up for sale.
Broken people tend to use,
Hungry passion as their holy grail.

I can swim underwater for hours,
To find that pearl inside you.
I can walk under dark skies,
To see the light in you.

I want to burn myself,
To set your demons free.
I can even pluck the thorns out,
And plant a beautiful tree.

But do give me some hope,
I want to fix my emptiness with you.
I’m an epic mess,
I know you are too.

The world would call us crazy,
So be it.
We are 2 broken souls,
Who perfectly fit.

  2. Aap jitna easily sab likh dety ho, usko bayan karne k liye kam se kam mere paas words nahi rehty, aapki poems hamesha deep thoughts me le jaati hai, unko feel karti hu , aapko bhagwan ne bahut badi blessings di hain ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  3. 2 broken souls an imperfect ode to love and understand. There is beauty behind unrequited sentiment and broken souls.

    I can swim underwater for hours,
    To find that pearl inside you.
