Neelima

Neelima's agony 
 knows no bounds.
She suffers  for strange 
 reasons . Incredible at times 

The recent dealings
with friends  who feign
to support her makes her 
 dismayed.

They act on her behalf,
 draw plans, she  turns 
an accomplice not knowing they 
are playing a game.


She  directs and helps
them to go ahead,
not once she  suspects their 
inclinations.

A day or two after 
she realizes the hand 
and glove  deceit  of them
 with her opponents.

She does not express anger
feels hurt for being taken '
for granted.  How people 
behave ? she rues.

She resolves finally
to keep away. The dealing 
will remain  incomplete.
That is  Neelima's  trait.
