.
I held onto my heart
that wouldn’t stop running
towards the possibility of love,
towards you
who smiled at me
and yet never looked back.
I held onto my heart,
clawed at it, in fact.
All because this role of wanting
is an ocean of false memories and false hopes.
This feeling of losing myself to
something like love,
someone like you,
to everything out of my reach
was wearing me down
to a version of me I didn’t like.
Wanting you
has made me cautious, has made me aware
of why I can’t be the one for you,
why I can never be the one being loved.
Wanting you
makes me feel like
I can never be happy again.

Hi,
I am Nayana Nair. I'm 28. 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. :)

it rains in my heart 
Unrequited love leaves painful marks on the heart, but the hope of fixing a broken heart is with another true love.
I liked your poem. It is enjoyed reading it when romance is on the surface. Greetings Nayana

THIS IS INCREDIBLE, Nayana. You are really talented – it takes a lot of courage to share your writing. Thank you. You made my night.
I have a spiritual mentor who says, “Perfect vulnerability is perfect protection.” I love this line in particular:

You really showed vulnerability here. Wow, love it – it’s how I do my blog too.
Blessings to your writing and you continuing doing it. 🙂

Thanks a lot Debbie 🙂 😀
I have always felt that there is a beauty in vulnerability. I have tried hard to capture it in my work. So I am really glad to know that I am able to deliver that feeling in my works. Means a lot to hear that. Thanks a lot for your words of encouragement 🙂 😀
Have a beautiful day ahead. 🙂
