THE LAST LETTER...
Dear Husband
Before this callous world I depart Just sharing the broken pieces of my heart... Two decades ago I came into your life When you brought me home as your wife.
Dreams in my eyes, love in my heart I was eager to make a new start... Dreams were shattered, love was spurned While in solitary anguish I burned.
You needed a wife to fulfill a need Once satiated, just turned and went to sleep... Unfulfilled, unloved, shedding silent tears Just staring at the ceiling I've spent countless years.
You wanted to be successful, that was your mission Me - a sacrificial lamb at the altar of ambition... Climbing the professional ladder, self aggrandizement Proving to all that you are smart and intelligent.
Your weak selfish nature no one could see Without a thought you trampled all over me... To survive I had to seek within myself So, fantasizing, I created my world of happiness.
Many a pleasurable hour I spent there Dreaming of all that I had been denied here... I felt no guilt, I felt no qualm In my fantasies no one did I harm.
Having achieved what you had set out for You turned towards home once more... No wife dancing to your beck and call Perhaps made you feel very small.
This your bruised ego could not take So my dream world you decided to break... Accusing me of betrayal I was condemned without a trial.
If crime be mental infidelity Yes, then I have committed adultery... You have branded me as a whore You, who never could touch my inner core.
Emotionally a virgin still I am Try and understand, if you can. But its too late now, the damage complete So fatigued, I am opting for eternal sleep...
Your wife, perhaps!
