Unfaithful…

a poem by Madhura Dabholkar

I loved you so much
and gave you all of me
I trusted you by heart
then why did you deceive me.

Take me out of here
this is not the place I want to be
they don’t treat me well
nor for days I am given a proper meal.

I am treated like an animal
very helpless I am here
I am beaten very often
and thrown in the dark cell to bear.

All the vows we took together
now dissolved in a legal way
tell me why you loved me
or was all your love a fake.

This asylum is very hideous
only pills and shocks I gain
you don’t bother or care for me
I endure heartache, grief and pain

Every morning they tie me up
and force me to bear the shock
the process goes on for up to an hour
I am mad and insane they abuse me and talk.

Even death does not pity me
only pain and affliction I suffer
my eyes search for you everywhere
though I know unfaithful you are.

My heart still refuse to believe
there is another women in your life
you betrayed and proved me insane for her
and to get out of this hell I strive.

My love you proved our love wrong
the faith I had in you has gone
my love for you is no more
but the torture and sufferings go on.
