Don'T Take Me For Granted
DON"T TAKE ME FOR GRANTED
Many a times my fingers I have sadly burnt,
I did not know why and who burned that fire.
It was veiled behind your smile, I later learnt
you enjoyed so much being an obsessed liar.
The tapestry of dream you weaved for me
disappeared like mirage in dunes of desert.
In the miasma of deception you didn’t see
how the molested self-pity broke my heart.
You want now to take me for another ride
the return of the old smile on your face I see.
On garden path you won’t find me by your side
for I know how delusively distant you can be.
The life’s lesson you taught me made me wise.
After my belief in human honesty got dented
I no longer live in self-created fool’s paradise.
So I tell you, don’t ever take me for granted.
