Never To Be Abandoned.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Parents, you want to abandon me,
As you find your love in each other than me,
You shouting at nights wake me up from my dreams,
Covering my face of tears from the commotions of scream,
Throwing of the pillows and the bolsters to the ground,
Grinding of teeth and yelling out of breath,
Accusing each other in indelible language,
Forgetting me having plugged of my plumage,
Shivering under the blanket, praying to the Gods,
To teach you both to remember me always,
When you begin to fight and fail to converse,
Parents, speak as you both have nothing to confess.
