Betrayal

O daughter of Pandora,

You threw open the door to evils

And led me into a world of darkness

Mystified I was by your charms

The beauty and grace

That paralysed my senses,

And I was such a fool

To run into your trap

Knowing that you could never be trusted

But still so enchanted,

That I could not help but follow you

Without a word

And let you rule my world

But you betrayed

I do not blame you though

Because nature made you so.

Still wasn’t quenched

Your thirst for attention

And you cried and wailed

That I had destroyed you

And dishonored your womanhood

By trampling upon your dignity

And claiming your dreams

As though they were my possessions.

Still the world worships your race

As the symbol of maternal love

Great is she who nurtures

The heir of mankind

Inside herself,

She has the privilege to feed my child

Every moment,

I am disowned of my own creation,

But can she erase the truth

That my heart cries too

When my son hurts his toe,

But they can see your tears

Mine are invisible

Lucky are those

Who can find a shoulder to cry on

You have always had mine.

But my tears

Have always dried away…unwiped.

Still enthrones you, the world foolish,

As the goddess of love

And convicts me as

The being who cannot feel,

A creature who cannot cry,

Your sweet poison has lasted centuries,

And still I am loyal,

On my knees,

Confounded by the spells,

Of Your Highness.
Hail the heartless woman,

Audacious and Fearless,

To declare me,

Nature’s creation without a heart.
