There are times, when we suddenly stop, abruptly. When we dance heartily, hum to a tune of a favourite memory, flip through the pages of an album... and we stop without us realising, mostly staring into nothingness. 

This abrupt stop is what takes my heart away. A sudden stop makes everything so different, putting lives into a frenzy and yet brings an odd stillness. I stop sometimes, abruptly; some days when I spot someone who resembles a lost soul, on others when I hear an old song that once made me smile, on many when I pass some roads, on some when I stumble upon pieces of my poetry, but have none to recite to. .

Loss is quite abrupt too. It never comes with a warning, and crashes onto us like it expected us to know of it. Many a days, one loses family, friends, love and what not... But there are some, when one loses himself/herself. Realises that he has become vacant, with a steely look of death in the eye. 

The worst part is that this loss happens and occurs not once but quite a few times in an entire lifetime. It leaves one so broken, with wounds so deep, those that the tears of phoenix too can't heal. It could only take the strength of the Phoenix to pull this man out of the dungeons of his own mind. 

Loss isn't what makes one lose their senses, the abruptness of it does. It is so unexpected, that the impact of it shatters the person. It makes one beg for what they deserve, even making them settle for that which they don't. A sudden blow to closed wounds could make them hurt, and that's what one moment of abrupt loss does; it rewinds the mix tape of all that the soul once endured. 

Could things be anymore complicated than the euphoria of the prettiest moments and the emptiness of the most abrupt good byes, hitting together at the same time ?

Well yes, all ends suddenly, but the heat to the mind is of the need for a completion, to the story, everyone has in there, waiting to materialize some day.
