THE TRAITOR

Today I got the news,
and suffered a terrible shock.
The love and affection she showed me,
was all a huge mock.

The way she walked with me,
the way she talked with me;
Now when I try to recall those moments,
I get a surprise from my memory.

It has stopped responding,
I forget to remember those golden days.
Those precious moments are all now,
trapped in a mystery maze.

How could she do this to me,
was it unknowingly my mistake?
Her this act of treachery,
has left my life at stake.

God of death!! I seek your presence,
relieve me off this cursed life.
The girl whom I once cared for,
opted to be the "other's" wife.

If he had been a better soul than me,
I would've been happy for you,my love.
But,the person whom you have chosen,
is a hunter who'll cage you,as a dove.

Gone are those days when I dreamt of,
us walking hand in hand.
Now even the scent of our footsteps,
would've been wiped off that sand.

"Lucky fella",they used to call me,
"got such a darling dame".
Now I'll have to erase from my heart,
the tattoo of her name.

Nightmares will haunt me,
I'll witness those wretched sights.
No cure is there for this epidemic,
other than sleepless nights.

Is there hope for me anymore?
Will my future somehow blossom?
My pals provide me with false hopes,
words full of sarcasm.

I'll have to bear this murder,
pretend its part of the game.
Once again my heart acquired a picture,
for the "traitors hall of fame"!
