Yours

Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa
Aa phir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa
— Ahmad Faraz

While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
— Taylor Swift, the lakes

And then there are days when I can't even recognise myself.
— where shadows live, on days I feel lost
