No memory to cherish
Few moments to enjoy
Her life was one
Bereft of Joy.
She was once
Timid and weak
People took advantage
Thought she was weak
Behing her laughter
She hid her sorrow
And ceased to believe
In a better tomorrow
Her dreams and hopes
Were dashed to the ground
To shackles of grief
She forever felt bound.
Once a princess
Nurtured with care
She had little clue
Of what she'll bear
Her pleas of justice
Often went unheard
An innocent lass
Became a caged bird.
Try as she might
She cannot succeed
To forgive him who
made her heart bleed
His words lured her
In him she was deceived
Her path grew rougher
Once she conceived.
He was perhaps
Riveted by her beauty
But soon forgot
All sense of duty.
Of her marriage today
She completes another year
Failing to smile
Her soul sheds a tear.
She's haunted till date
By echoes of past
She can't fathom why
The dice was so cast.
She knows not how
One blow after another
Didn't make her refuse
To walk any further.
Perhaps it was
A touch of Grace
Blessed by him who
Sets things in place.
P.S. - I am not sure how to correct the spacing for this poem. Blogger refuses to cooperate :( Have already tried several times, need to take a break now lol!
