The Chaotic Sanguine

By Reetika Arora

You’re getting repulsed seeing

This state of mine;

Wilted and flaccid,

I am no longer

Bewitching or alluring to your eyes

But my beloved,

I am the same you fell in love with

When I was blooming in my glory,

Why do you revolt me now?

Does it mean what they say is true?

My success,

My beauty is what attracted you

Like a hovering bumblebee

Attracted to nectar so sweet,

Here I am, longing for you

But you are long gone

Just like my charm lost gone.
