Cover your eyes
with heartfelt goodbyes,
as they drift into a world
away from your cries.
Doubt not.
Their love was true.
They forgave you for crimes
not known to you.
But a heart is a heart
and it tires out someday
and it hurts them to leave
though they might not say.
So when they leave you
with heart full of guilt
and eyes full of your last glimpse.
Do not let them hear
your requests to stay.
Do not let them see
the helplessness in your eyes.
Cover your eyes
with heartfelt goodbyes,
with cheerful laughter
and hope that they find
whatever they are after.

Hi,
I am Nayana Nair. I'm 30. Just a person who has tons of things to talk about....not much organized thoughts sadly.
I'm interested in all forms of storytelling (though I don't have the talent for it). So I like series, movies, novels, anime, and whatnot. I'm also really passionate about music, psychology, learning languages (I just dream big, too undisciplined to makes any actual progress) and literature. I am overall just a curious person who is interested in all kinds of things, as long as they suit my taste.
I always wanted to be a writer (and also a teacher)..But I don't think I have the skills required...this blog is just my attempt at becoming the writer I always wanted to be...Blogging for few years, I have realized I am more of a poet (although, I am not sure that I am good enough for that label)...I hope I realize more about myself through writing.
Thanks for dropping by!! Hope I didn't disappoint. :)

Amazing. “Do not let them hear your requests to stay. Do not let them see the helplessness in your eyes.”- terrific lines. Loved it.
Thank you 🙂 😀 I am glad you liked my poem 🙂 Thanks a lot 🙂
It’s lovely. I can relate to the situation, so the last two paragraphs were perfect.
Thanks a lot 🙂
It just made me sad …. But I really loved theae lines. Am reading your poems. I just want to ask you one thing . Why can’t you write a book
I am really glad you liked my poems 🙂 Thanks a lot 🙂
Why I can’t write a book?? Well one of the main reasons would be that I am not convinced that I have that much skill at writing. I am very doubtful whether what I write is good enough or not. I hope my writing gets better in maybe 10-20 years. The day I get enough confidence in myself, maybe then I would think about publishing.
But thank you for showing faith in me. That means a lot to me. 🙂 That is one of the only thing that gives me hope that maybe one day I would be able to write the way I want, achieve the best of my potential. Thanks a lot 🙂
So touching and beautiful!
Thanks a lot 🙂
Marvelous
Thank you 🙂
