The Debate: To Bear Or Flush It Out

Aphrodite visited 

She cast her spell upon us

I sank on my knees and thanked her dearly

The right one was by my side

All seemed well

And then perhaps he was slapped back to reality

He turned his back on me, on us

See during our short union 

A seed had already been planted

We did't even get to know about it

We didn't get to celebrate

He didn't get to castigate it 


Alone i found myself

In the cold

Crying myself to sleep

Carrying a seed that was perhaps unwanted by the bearer

He wouldn't talk to me

He shut his door

My strength was wearing out

How am i do to this a lone

A pleasure of two


I tried for days on end

He acted like all was well

The game was so complex for me

I resigned


So much started happening within me

I started hating myself 

Hating myself with all within me

I hated him the more

And here i was stuck with his seed

If i flushed it out

Would that make me feel better

If i nurtured it to life

Would i bear its sight


My blood was hot

My brain fizzy

My heart just stopped beating 

All was dull

All was black

Life became worthless


Here i sat like i had lost a child on my lap

Pale, looking dejected

All i wanted was my rosy life back

But this selfish man had taken it away from me

He had uprooted it 

Not a single root remained attached

Life was so meaningless

The wrath of love had struck
