Lover's Liberty Poem by Avinash Nair

I feel the tiredness of the life
Settling onto me.
For which I blame none, but me.
But what I do not understand
Is the way you apprehend,
My attention through
The various messages
That you have sent.
Each with a deliberate hint
Of hurt, each time you threw
A careless word across,
I succumbed to their pain,
Felt the sense of disdain,
As my happiness withdrew.
Does love give you the liberty
To hurt the one you love?
If so, you have hurt me
To last an eternity.
Here, I have my lesson learnt.
Now, let me burn myself
In the ember of these emotions,
For I deserve to be burnt!
