My abused heart

The river flows through the trodden path

Tears of love, tears of betrayal

Tears of frailty, tears of hurt.

They resurface 
To soothe my abused heart

Why do they flow when the cause being the same.

Men...forever men!

Why are they so cruelly detached.

Trampling my sentiments, killing my substance

No matter how much I keep distance.

It hurts, bad

Death it is that I wish.

But I can't leave

I have given birth.

Maybe one day he too will do the same

Men, they hardly change

Please don't abuse me anymore.

let me survive

There are few reasons left for me to live.
