A person who’s definition is quite different than that in a dictionary. Someone who is close to you while being far away. Who looks at you and be a reason for your smile, harboring the purest feelings for you. Someone who doesn’t announce the affection to the world but only to you, makes you feel special in their own way when you’re rejected by the world, who is aware of your little needs and even the reasons of your annoyance, who notices the teeniest change in your tone and go crazy until you be back to normal, who’s priority list never gets amended because of you, who sits and willingly listen to your day’s crap & voluntarily share their energies to cure your grouchiness, who’s care you witness through actions and not just words. That person is a keeper. Keep them close no matter what. Don’t let go of that hand. A keeper can be found in your family, or friend or a partner. Keep those close to your hearts. Give them their due credit. They are irreplaceable.
words
Your words….
Your words penetrated as
glorified blade.
To put me through the hottest fire
Only to shine brighter.
And before I know
I was as sharp as a sword.
Impact
Winters cracking in
through your brawls.
Sending sudden surge of chill
up my body.
Sprawling numbness
across my rich veins.
Eventually, a callous smile tearing
apart my heart.
That’s the impact of your harsh words on me.
