Poetry On Odyssey: Heartbreak Szn
Yuvraj Singh

I cried into you, using my tears as water for your roots.

Only a love like this could produce something so beautiful yet tragic.

I can still feel the tracings of your fingers on my back, so gentle and kind.

You cried into me, using your tears as water for my roots.

Only a love like this could produce such happiness yet pain.

We wanted each other badly but not bad enough.

We cried into each other, using our tears for roots

Only a love like this could produce something once in a lifetime yet it wasn't meant to last a lifetime.

The story of the intimate breakup.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you left my happiness chased after you. Please return her to me. She's lost.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come back, I will meet you halfway.

I know this is scary for us both.

How does one prepare for love they were not ready for?

We connect. We connect as deeply or distantly as we allow.

But please, may we maintain a connection, so I can still be held and comforted on days where only you feel like home.

I will establish outside connections, opening the idea of love from all directions including and excluding you all at once.

I am not ready to let you go.

I still believe in this.

I still believe in us.

It wasn't summertime and especially not Fourth of July but boy, we made fireworks fly. Though it's supposed to be cold in Winter, all I remember that year is your warmth. During Spring, we went to Disney. They call it the happiest place on Earth, but my happy place is you. When we finally saw summer, you told me you didn't need me to see the sunshine.

-3 seasons

What a shame boys don't get to play with Barbie's. So, they choose life-sized women instead.

-I am not your toy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If deception had a face

It would be yours

And if envy had a face

It would be mine

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anger.

Soul lit on fire.

Fuming.

Sadness.

Tears streaming like river.

Aching.

Destroy.

Use tongue as weaponry.

Killing.

Any hopes of you coming back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes I wonder if you hear them

My prayers for your happiness

I know they are between God and I

But I wonder if he whispers them into your dreams

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came searching for answers to questions you hadn't even asked yourself

-do you miss me?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I search for you in places I know you'll never be. I like to think that's God's way of protecting me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I spend a lot of time sleeping lately.

  • -We are together in my dreams

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only thing that hurts more than betrayal is the act of forgiveness

-For my peace of mind

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you had asked me if I believed that we'll cross paths again, before this I would have said indefinitely. Now, I say I hope so. My heart will leave a door open for you to creep back into someday.

-goodbye for now

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
