Walk away

You don’t need this Evelyn

You have had more setbacks than any heroine I know.

Don’t fuck it up for someone else

You don’t have the mental energy

You’re too old for this.

What you should look for is stability and peace.

Ah

Fuck it. 

Fireworks on a moody day

I can’t stand to watch fireworks alone.

It will remind me 

of my childhood

Of that college diwali 

Of your smile making creases around your hazel eyes.

My feelings for Diwali certainly did not change.

I would like a cigarette today.
