Swarnali Das

Life is a queer little thing;
Comes around everyday
Dressed in a new garb
Shocking sometimes,
...

I was nine
When you deflowered me.
You touched me
Against my wishes.
...

I love you
Because I can love no other
I hate you
Yes I do, very much
...

Will you believe me
If I said I knew
How it feels to be an
Insignificant and un-special
...

How could it be wrong
When it felt so right?
The love we felt,
The bliss and glory of it,
...

I carry a dagger
Thrust in my chest
Unable to decide if
I should let it remain
...
