Even if you have replaced me

With someone else

You wouldn't find me

Anywhere

You will miss

You will regret

For what you buried under the carpet

And which I carry in memories

Till date

In my silent battles

With self

But I won't let you use me again

For I value my self respect

You underestimate

The power of a woman

You fail to realise

She's built from stardust

And ashes.
