![]() AN UNREVIEWED POETRY...A Poem by NEHA
It's a Saturday night
& he's working late. Its okay... because he says he loves me. he returns home tired, & opens the bedroom door, I'm lying on the bed with lots of pain in my head. He unbuttons his shirt, takes off his tie I get up to help.. He holds me by my waist, pulls me towards his body, I say 'NO'... I had cramps in my stomach, "I'm sorry for having my periods" on A SATURDAY NIGHT'! I whispered into his ears the state my body was in. he laughed it off! He pushed me onto the bed & jumped on me, as if making love to him wasn't an option but an obligation... & he slept early that night, I didn't... because it hurt... But love hurts right? the next mornin' he wants tea in bed, I request him to make it, But he says no... so I made the tea... Because that's also what love is about- right? understanding when your partner says NO... But yesterday night my 'NO' had mattered less... Nights pass into oblivion, In the daylight his servant & in the moonlight his wine, I am..... There I am left to decay like a crumpled paper-cup... like a house of cards one blow from caving in; he robbed me off myself.... & left me to pass away unnoticed into an eternal silence...!
