forbidden dance

Writer's picture: Kushi KumarKushi Kumar

traffic lights couldn't stop, the beautiful story that died

scribbled through the last pages, squared us spellbind

august, an intimate dance, I bled through thirteenth

wayward solace, tiny charms we called candies

cassettes of Legend, we're a team of two

dancing and cheering, swore I got all of you

spinned barefoot across the field of your whims

heart tossed by the force of your cunning blue kicks

dance of confrontation, my cheek - your sudden, swift caress

young little fool, fought for my innocence, her futile quest

high school reunion, we waltzed in with grace

your secret mission, his black eye, a somber embrace

blessed by the hands who hated our guts

proved them wrong, your pride took a strut

seasons quadruple, your betrayal wove a pattern of deceit,

please let it go just this once - your lies wrapped in sweet

you used to spark up, lost in the smoky charm

I kept ringing, but your silence left me disarmed

re-watching those recorded videos of you in bad quality

I see through your eternal bullshit mystery

still have your letters of guilt

so thankful for december, for you called it quits

flew to me, said people didn't recognize you alone

called me your confidant, so your verses echoed

clandestine rendezvous for a year with you, I faltered

flashed your cloned new possession, was I brave or a coward?

how could I have said goodbye if you kept staying the nights

"Trust me when I say I love you", your sweetest lie

my comfort, your maneuver - till you could see beyond

"let's go for a drive?" only to uninvite, precious you called

blindsided, spent years counting chopsticks at the mall

I forbid you - in a locked chest, like the script they forgot

unaware of the damage you did, I lingered, longing for more

now the crowd cheers your name, but do they know your pasts' lore?


learnt how to ride a bike,

by being let go by someone I trusted, didn't I?
