The Fallen Angel

For living a mirage, she traded her dreams

Calling it ‘her’ choice, with pride, she beams

She let her heart rule over her head

And lived through the venom destiny silently knead

She learned to love but couldn’t unlearn

The latter became the reason for her to burn

“Love it was” claimed the dreamy brat

But was “lesser” and she played possum to that

She knew the fall was in the coming

But the angel laughed through her fall

Up to the abyss, she kept on humming

“How much I loved will now be known to all”

She was a novice with a virgin heart

Called him ‘her life’ and herself his part

Still discovering the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’

On seeing others realized how pseudo were her ties

Little nothings that others had, her young heart began to miss

Dreaded the time when she would have to call it the last kiss

With abundant patience and nervous eyes she waited

But life went on and as others claimed ‘left her insatiated’

She knew the fall was in the coming

But the angel laughed through her fall

Up to the abyss, she kept on humming

“How much I loved will now be known to all”

And not just laughed, she cried and sang aloud

Coz it was true love that she had explored

Falling finally free of all the crowd

Who forever in her criticism roared

She knew the end…right from the start

But continued in hope of later cherishing that part

She could never love again or at least so she felt

And awaited the final fall for her existence to melt.

She knew the fall was in the coming

But the angel laughed through her fall

Up to the abyss, she kept on humming

“How much I loved will now be known to all” Suchita..……
