Nicola (IG Nicola_JustMe) Pillai Poems

Uneasy in her silence
Vulnerable and bare
His words cut so deep
She struggled not to care
...

Twenty Twenty
What a year
It‘s been
A Pandemic
...

We found ourselves didn't we, you and I
When things got tough
And we asked ourselves why
When life crept up upon us
...

Lost too much of it
Waited too long for it
Practised patience
As It healed my pain
...

Just like that,
They became strangers again
Leaving nothing but a broken heart
Too painful to ever mend
...

There is was in all its glow
Hosting the most spectacular show
Looking upon us with all it's might
Stars in awe of its powerful light
...

Late nights
Toast fests
Shopping in the city
Long chats
...

I chose the words
They too chose me
We gravitated to each other
For all to see
...

Curious and free, my love
Remember how that felt
So young and so naive
No money, stature or wealth
...

I took myself to a quiet spot
To sit and watch the rain
I gazed as the heavens opened
Watched it crash against my windowpane
...
