A friend is a gift you gift yourself


The dazzling bride sat on her couch,
Her eyes glistened with tears.
She made no reverberation no movement, though
Her heart was pounding with fear.

The precious jewels not permitted to fall,
Now were not in her control.
They trickled ceaselessly like the endless rain,
And she experienced excruciating pain.

Her divine face had no hint of joviality,
nor did she have a beam in her eyes.
Her only yearning was to flee,
And meet the love of her life.

They were separated due to pious bounds,
She endured the soreness without a sound.
But her forced wedding perforated her heart,
As she had expected her love to last.

Her face had lost the rosy hue,
In few minutes, her wedding was due,
She held his picture securely,
But, her hope slid away surely.
