"Was That You ?"

By Navamika Ragesh

Was I dressed well? Well sari’s got to be the best attire , off

white and yellow maybe .

And makeup ,not to conceal my flaws ,but to be pretty for

you.

I wanted to be the best , among all the women who came

there,

Yes , I could be competitive and arrogant for you , and I

believe I can take the right .

Well ,what would an arrogant women want from the

supreme himself .

I need the assurance that you could only love me ,is it too

much to ask for ?

Yes , isn’t it? , you never let me see you , even though I came

best dressed for you ?

Maybe not as much as Radha, yet I hope I will find one place

there .

You were successful . My ego and arrogance shattered like

broken bangles .

It cut deep into my soul, I am desperate ,your face was the

only thing that could make me feel better .

Yet you refused to show . That’s a cruel game , you see ego in

me , but I’ m a pity girl who needs you .

I couldn’t help when tears when flew down my cheeks like

rain , and everyone watched .

I didn’t care for my pride , for what good it is when you

choose to abandon me.

Still I followed the crowd , and wished for never to be

abandoned again.

For whoever thinks that I am not good enough , you were

always the one I came to ,

You welcome me with open arms , and with a smile erased

the sorrow from my book

Oh lord , ego and anger aside what have I done to upset you

to peek ,cause my tears can’t stop.

When I was about to leave , you gave me sweets , why ?can I

ever get an answer .

Was it you or someone else ,let me believe its you and make

you mine ,forever mine .

Maybe possessiveness to core ,yet I take the right to be

called your only cause I am women.
