SHE COULDN'T BEAR
THE FORBIDDEN TRUTH.
SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE MAD
FOR SHOWING THEIR SYMPATHY
FOR WHAT ?
WAS SOMETHING SHE DIDN'T BELIEVED
AFTER ALL ,WHO WOULD
IF THEY WERE TOLD -
"YOUR HUSBAND'S DEAD".
ONCE A WHILE READING A FABLE
SITTING IN HER DINING TABLE
ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE SAW
A DARK SHADOW NEAR THE SEE-SAW
MONITORING FOR HER TO COME OUT .
IT LOOKED FAMILIAR
A BIT LIKE HER HUSBAND
WHOM THE PEOPLE BELIEVED
WAS LOST IN THE STORM
AS PER THE NEWS
SHE HEARD IN HER DORM
BELIEVING HER INSTINCT
SHE RUSHED TO MEET THE FAMILIAR SHADOW
BUT WHEN SHE OPENED THE DOOR
THE SHADOW WAS THERE NO MORE
AND SHE WAS NOW
CONFINED WITHIN THE WALLS OF DISAPPOINTMENT
THE SPARK IN HER EYES REPLACED BY DULLNESS
HOW STUPID SHE HAD BEEN
BELIEVING IN HER HUSBAND'S RETURN
'AFTER ALL EVERYONE DISAPPEARS EVENTUALLY '.
RATHER THAN LIVING A HALF LIFE
SHE DECIDED
TO TRAVEL TO THE OTHER SIDE
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT
AND ON THE BRIGHTEST DAY
WHEN HER HUSBAND HAD FINALLY RETURNED
LOST AND WEARY
WHATEVER STRENGTH WAS LEFT IN HIM
DISAPPEARED WHEN HE SAW
HER LIFELESS ,LIMP BODY
AND FELL THERE
HIS SCARRED , MASCULINE BODY
OVER HER DELICATE , FEMALINE ONE.
