Falling apart

We reside in two different worlds

Like matter and anti matter

We collide and destroy something 

every time.


Silent screams in my head 

get the better of me.

The ice-cold formality

The same talks on a loop

The pretense of it all

And the futility thereof.


It bothers but it doesn't

Thank God for the distractions of Life!


Where does time fly?

One moment we're playing hide & seek at home

And the next we're staring at gigantic problems of managing the household.


Where did all those years go?

Where did my age go?

My straight hair and smooth skin?

Where do things go when they're gone? 


We were fretting over one silly test at school

And now we manoeuvre our way across the globe to Canada!


How did we cover so much distance?

And when?

Where does time fly?
