But Why..........? Poem by Dr DHANA LAKSHMI

Quench for love……….?
Crave for care………?
Or was it all………..
All an infactuation? ?
They knew I was hurt
They knew I was wounded! !
Not just a prick
Not just a perforation….! !
They stabed n stabed
But never to kill….
Never skin deep


Through n through
Every cell of mine bled
I perspired blood
Inhaled all de allegations
Exhaled just sorrow…! !
For it was tears
Tears that flowed through my capillaries
Impervious n immune
No shock
Nor a kick in de teeth
For I was immune
Immune with pain
Every stinge I take
I medicate with pleasure
For my grubby lips
Betrays my emotions
For it smiles
Smiles and smiles
As never smiled before
Affable promises
But peril behind
`my good`
Was their explaination
Intentions same
Out come same
To rip n tear
Every cell of me
But
But I have me to care
Me to nuture
Me to fondle myself
