She Went Away Un-Kissed

By Suchismita Mandal

SHE started her life with innocence,

Went on to become an ambitious young girl,

Experienced some unfulfilled desires,

Turned to a jilted lover.

Had some untold feelings,

Turned them to ruthlessness,

Nurtured some unadulterated emotions,

Became an epitome of the creator and the destroyer.

She was possessive, she cared.

She dominated, she craved,

She demanded,

She accomplished.

She wanted, but never asked.

She blamed, but loved,

She loved, but never emoted.

She had the guts to beckon death,

But alas, she went away un-kissed.
