I’m frantic to forget but how could I!
My yearnings expected truth and morality
and wanted to place you in my heart.
My emerald emotion, crimson passion
was washed away in betrayal flood.
I sank into whirling vortex of deceit
Neither I could punish nor to change a cheat
No alternative but to hate, ignore and discard.
My righteous sunny days were shadowed
by your crude cunning creeping lies.
Dirty flies polluting sacred chastity of my ambient,
Yet I was not shattered but wiped the silhouette
and cleaned my firmament.
I was decisive to erase that chapter with my internal strength,
Yet I still remember your nasty nature.
Heart broke but I had to sweep away you from my heart.
I didn’t want to accept my defeat and at last realized, I am the winner.
My heart is healed in course of time.
But you are homeless being driven out from my heart.
