The Rejected Wife 1



You were like an open-flower in my heart,
I've stopped thinking from where we start
Because you made my feelings loathsome,
I'd ask myself if I need some.

You were like a well-known famed-flagrant,
When I was self-loved exultant.
In a Banta building you hugged and kissed,
I didn't know all I've missed.

My present pain will never come to an end,
When she ran to her ex-husband for her deep end,
Entering the obsolete Banta building,
Where both were stalwart clinging.

I saw her & left the door wide open,
Oh! I remembered the olden,
When said pseudo promise would never be broken,
Negation, rejection spoke to me in ventriloquism,
What a detriment promiscuous wife.

My pain will never come to an end
O! My rejected wife
