Did You Think Of It?

Tears
are speedy on your cheeks,
Moans and cries have been put on repeat.
Everyone is loving and
innocent on this day,
Even that teaser and abuser is disappointed for me
choosing this way.
It is on my burial day,
That the long-awaited, love is exposed.
I
ask myself: if this love was poured on me before yesterday
Would I have weaved the rope you are
crying on today?
Did you think of it?
That your actions were
heavy loads on my small heart,
That made me think I’m worthless and being left
apart.
Your abuses tore my
septum day by day,
And no one thought of it, so why are you crying
today?
You were all happy with
the insults I was receiving,
You
made me a pit for wastes; yes my heart didn’t contain microorganisms,
Nothing was decomposing.
So why are you crying?
These are just the fruits of your deeds.
Did you all think of
it?
Did you think if your
actions could be my heavy cross?
You drove me into abortion.
I mean those
contaminations lead to my adaptation.
Did you think of my
ending?
Oh yee,
Your
smiles and happiness originated from my pains.
I
walked in rain by your unspoken command,
I
worked day and night to survive,
And today am no more.
Am gone with questions
in my head,
I
heard them speaking of rights,
Sitting
in a well-protected site,
And the ii’s won.
They said we are all
the same,
And
when they violate them,
They
say,
We didn’t agree on that.
My cost of leaving
didn’t kill the living
What
have you done on me?
I
have gone without building a name,
How will they claim their clarity?
Your excuses made my
voice unused,
You
abused me and later accused me of hanging myself,
Pal
let’s leave,
For
our bodies are unseen,
But
please repent your sins,
Goodbye and please, don’t cry.
