MARRIAGE V. MIRAGE

MARRIAGE V. MIRAGE


Is my marriage a mirage,
A dream empty, unfulfilled?
Visions of bridal joy were
On the very first night killed!

No day brings me happiness,
No night has conjugal bliss.
Your embrace is too lukewarm
And superficial your kiss!

I don’t know why it is so.
You don’t like me, is it true?
Were you already in love?
Was this marriage forced on you?

What is the reason that me,
Constantly you do avoid?
If so, maybe an MD
Could help to fill up this void.

Whatever be the true cause,
I suffer too much torture.
May God help me in this hour,
I can’t bear any further!
