Abandoned, I stand alone
Deprived, deluded…
Deranged [they say]
Due to my own indulgence.
Muted by the charges
Of undue affection,
Of care?
Of neglect,
Of discrimination?
My heart always bleeds
For all the affection
I showered
For all the favoritism
That I poured.
A deep, unspeakable regret
Gnaws at my heart
Why was my love
So selfless, so unbiased?
Entrenched in time
I stand here
Watching the new face
Of love, of friendship and trust!
