Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

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.

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri August 11, 2018 at 5:28 AM Impressive wording and metaphor employed to show that one can't be beguiled again by a smile that caused hurt in the long run.
