God is love <br />But what is love? <br />You told me to work, <br />To earn <br />To take care of your house <br />My house, coz I built it! <br />I did, raising questions <br />And being suppressed <br />I came, leaving all <br />Everything that I had to say my own <br />I cried <br />Stitches from childbirth <br />Still raw! <br />You never tended me <br />Yet expected me to sleep by you <br />In the darkness of night <br />To help you <br />Masturbate <br />I thumped my head against the wall <br />And said <br />Once more, and it will be all over! <br />You never came to stop me <br />And I fell down with a swelling on my forehead. <br />I curl up at night against your body <br />Stranger, my heart says <br />My mind says <br />This is what you created for yourself <br />In the name of Love! <br />Leave <br />Leave now! <br />Where to? What do I look forward to? <br />I am scared <br />Scared of not having a man by me <br />Scared of people looking at me <br />Talking about me <br />Trying to get me <br />What I have is a shadow of love <br />A shadow that comes to life <br />But not always <br />Travelling with you <br />Tirelessly, <br />But they still remain <br />Lifeless! <br />Like my love………<br /><br />PAR Nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unspoken-thoughts-5/
