Love Was Never There Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

You never loved me
I now realise
It's what I could get you
That you fantasised

I was to be your stepping stone
Inanimate piece, to be used and thrown
So when you found me obsolete
That I was no longer, what you need

Like a moth eaten rug
You threw me out
You looked so smug
You shameless lout.

I don't blame you
For any of my pains
I should have seen through
Your charismatic pretence

Another new victim
You will entice
Out on the prowl
Is this killer full of vice
