Poisoned Nectar

Poisoned Nectar
by Ieshwar

I saw it kiss your lips for first time
I had never seen you so happy
You shed your masks of timidity
You joked, talked and even sang carefree.

The nectar become your blood, your love
You swam in its charms days and nights
You lied, you hid, even from me
Your promise to stop was fantasy

Stench of your lies was choking me
Like your steps, my love was shaking
My dreams and hopes were drowned in your glass
Time came for you to choose one of us

Loud silence has crept between us
Miles away, I don’t see your face
Yet I hear your groans as you pine
You chose your life and I chose mine
