The Ruined Life
I devoted my life, for someone,
Who did not deserve that
Nor had the calibre
To match with my thoughts
And the values
But I sacrificed everything
For the acceptance of my values
But that all was the lie
I lived under that lie
To show my truth and values
My words of promise
That I gave; unfortunately,
I had thrown the pearls
Towards the garbage eater
An awkward sadist
Who caused me
My life destruction
Perhaps it was my fault too
I blindly trusted
How it is hard
And biting pain
I have not words to express that
I am in unseen pain
With the broken heart
I cannot forget, even I try
It is beyond my power
In front of my life-ruins.
