She Will Have To Trigger The Gun Once More Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

She Will Have To Trigger The Gun Once More

Rating: 5.0


The tale told about her is never new perhaps
Through the trials of endless pain
What is her reward at the end?
you see tears of her heart have all been drained
So what more can she amend henceforth?

He was a demi-god of all lovers, she thought.
Yet he betrayed her once more
Who else can she trust any more?
This is the friendship they once swore upon,
So she had to break it for he was wrong.

There once lived a lover par romance, all thought.
He later shot a bullet of despicable lies
Straight through the core of her brain
It caught her conscience by surprise
And her emotions were no longer sane either.

Her heart was of glass now shattered in dismay
But does he even care for it?
Never ending thoughts come and go day after day
Wishing if he were never there!
What else if it is otherwise?

But the glass is often broken beyond repair
So where’s the glue she does not have in fact?
He has left her in the pit of despair
Now who will glue the pieces back to the glass now?
She is lost in the lurch!

Has he ever been a true lover
Or has this been his intention all along
To leave a sharp boulder on the ground?
Harming the ones who did no wrong
And hurt his loved ones all around?

Once there lived a lover bold in Cupid`s empire
Look at the mess he and his likes have made later
Look at the damage they have done
Should we say congrats on their successful crusade?
Now hand over to her his double barreled gun.

She will point it back in his own brain one day
And an innocent face, soaked with tears will turn wild then
It is no longer about the physical pain that she might think
So he will have to dispense with his life for sure.
And why should he be there at all?

She may regret once more for trusting him
This is no longer his gun at all
The first bullet may be of sheer dust
So she will have to trigger the gun once more.
He must not be there any more for sure!

Jayan, the need for revenge is decided by the intensity of the deception involved and the prey is the lady lost here and not the man. Kavya, it is based on a CNN IBN news strip and I thought he should not be there for sure.and Deepakji and Shahziaji thanks for your endorsement. Valsa madam, I had a fortnight of Pongal vacation during which my students who went home from the hostels helped me to raise the rank. Now busy days are back and the fall of popularity will soon begin..
