TITLE -- I KEPT ASKING MYSELF
And We were still sitting side by side
With tears dripping through her eyes
I could feel the coldness within her
as her skin remained seemingly hot.
My heart wept within me
Her tears I could not withstand
I blamed her for her plight
It wouldn't have happened but for her.
Could this be love?
I can't really say
It all happened at once
In a twinkle of an eye.
Her speechless state made me go weary
The thought within her I could not predict
My eyeball turned in gaze of her
Then she looked at me eye to eye.
It happened two fortnights ago
Her love for me multiplied day by day
Her sexual desire she couldn't control
What have I done? I kept asking myself.
So this is what I came up with .. Please corrections are welcomed... No one is an island of knowledge..
It's been long I wrote poem...
