its easy to disappear people.
first, a human being becomes something to be disposed off as soon as possible, a reason for comfort food, something that occupied space, time and thought till just a while ago.
a life then becomes a lifetime - a collection of things, memories, spaces. a creature of the past.
so, youve left behind these crumbs of you, like links to a broken anklet. handprints made in red ink and intentionally on bedroom walls; in ketchup and unintentionally in that corner of the kitchen. the scent of your breath on someone's skin. the way you sat on the edge of the couch and smiled last time we met. the conversations. may be even the bitterness and disgust someone felt for you.
and then the signs go away. fresh paint, new books, more albums, different homes, new words and more people replace everything. the bitterness may linger a while, but it too will be gone soon enough. what then?

Some bugger said things are supposed to move on.In the middle of the night,when you are listening to 'chala nattai' from instruments like mandolin,you believe it ;)
it will only take a fleeting sight, a whiff of that perfume or a familiar gesture/smile to bring back the human.
@ oneiro

Die Inquisition Die!
die. yes, why not
simply life,
no questions asked
inhale, exhale
and stop one day.
what is death, then
anyway.
nina,
crafted well!

:) will do, sometime
Death
is more than
Just that.
There's a Heart,
A Brain,
And Pancreas.
Of yours,
And the Deceased's
One has to on,
With a hole
somewhere.
theres more, in fairness
there is
my brain
and a pancreas, sure
may be a heart, even
he had one too,
a heart
theres space
where it used to be
till now.
his world and mine
have holes
time seeps through
i wish sometimes
for an afterlife
is there one?
After-Life.
What more
do you want
after a life.
Perhaps it wasn't
lived in full.
Perhaps it just
ceased,
Suddenly.
what do you
know.
Perhaps it was
lived more
than full.
Yes your hole
shall remain.
Time shall reduce
its diameter.
Hold my hand
and shut your
eyes.
Believe me.
Time would.
