Another Shot...
Another Shot...


When I stepped out of the room
After spilling my heart to that known stranger
My heart wandered everywhere
To find me...
The old hopeful me...
All it ended up getting
Were sleepless nights in that same room
Around the air, once we shared together
But I would never anymore!
Still, I close my eyes.
In this desperate month
With no leads except one
And exponentially decreasing savings
I receive a mail saying
"thank you for attending the interview.
However...." And I throw my phone away.
Picking it up, I click on "related jobs"
The very next minute...
I have another inter
view next week.
5 am in the morning
I receive a Whatsapp from an unknown number
"you are cordially invited to witness the lovely alliance
Of..." Her name imprinted in gold
I'd give my heart to see her get married
To the boy, she loves and deserves
And also fit our caste but he doesn't.
I failed as an elder brother
In becoming a supportive son.
I drop her a message-"will be there gudiya"
No matter how failed your life
Or your life choices turn out to be
Never ever fail in fixing it up
By giving it another chance
Cause in life nothing is screwed enough
To not be welded!
