Heart is a lonely hunter

To know what loneliness does to you
You need to take your heart out of your body
To see
Where it has scraped off from
Where it has become pulpy and giving way
Where it has hardened
And where it is learning new ways
To feel
If it has gone hollow in some corners, filled by darkness
And if it has parts, which still beats in the old familiar way
To know
If it has any colours, or has it become sepia-toned?
Just like your days...

You will find yourself wondering..
What will your heart take
To become whole again
To become like that of a sixteen year old
Who never realised heart is such a vulnerable thing
Who, revelled in the rare moments of solitude
And wished to be lonely forever!
