Meenakshi Raina Poet Rhyme

More Cruel Than Death

Your selfish love tore me apart,
   A silent pain whips my heart.

My beauty shall not grow again, 
     With passing time youth was done,
     I am no more like summer sun,
You walked away gave me pain,
My love for you, all went in vain, 
     Your memories, wish I had none.

Like a tree all bare, 
   Lost, I fear in wilderness
     My golden days too shall pass 
       Regrets will die too
         I didn't know your love could be 
           Hurtful, more cruel than death.
