Desertion Poem by Vinaya Joseph

You left me,
To live this life,
All alone,
Like the light from the burning wicks,
My heart is in flames,
The pain and the anguish,
Only I bear,
You sit there,
Laughing at your win,
I sit here,
Crying at my loss,
Who cares?
Life moves on,
My tears are my own making,
Why did I trust you?
Why don't I learn lessons?
My mistake,
That I allowed you to play with my emotions,
It's only I who need to be blamed,
Why am I so feeble?
God, please give me strength to bear this cross!
