Ripping it

That morning I turned myself 
Into a butcher, to chop flesh
Of my memories as pieces of
Songs I've been in love.

The bloody hassle down this
Nostalgic path to find you 
The best songs- to curate you 
The best playlist 

It's hard not to expect you
Yap about the music and
Scream about it from a 
High tower of your city.

But I gotta keep my expectations 
Low you know? I always get 
Ahead of myself in these things.
Only to sit and wait for others to 

Catch up. Then regret and 
Curse myself in frustration.
For hopping on such a journey 
To begin with.

This euphoria fails to subside,
But when it does my eyes hurt 
And my head blurs as if I'm in a 
Caffeine withdrawal.

This strange attitude of mine 
To feel deeply. Outlive four-five
Oceans despite knowing,
A mere drop is our reality..

It comes with a cost. 
Goes on leaving its marks.
I attach myself deeply and
That's why, feel betrayed easily.
