Nothing Feels Real…

Posted on by Ishita Gupta 
We are so close, yet feel miles apart.
Each day is an act of pretense
of love
with an aching heart.
Once those eyes were full of warmth.
But now they are empty and devoid
of love
the longing now far gone.
Ignorance is a bliss, but very evil.
In the distance I see a forlorn hope
of love
it doesn't feel real.
As I wake to another day,
My heart says
"What does feel real these days?"

I am a girl who has chosen to explore and experience her life through words. Born and brought up in India, I am an avid reader, feminist, potterhead and a Biology student. I am also trained in a form of Indian classical dance, Kathak, and am currently learning contemporary dance style. Writing and poetry, for me, are a medium to channel my hidden emotions and also to create a change in the society. Please feel free to drop your feedback!
