Silent Beginnings

Through change

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

Another woman

A cruel man did not deceive me

He did not know about love

My father did not comfort me

He did not even ask me

He gave me to his friends

He took the money

I sold it to the poor

He did not even ask me

They are looking for happiness and hurt me

Only sadness is for me

The taste that I will not get from my mother

They are looking for it and giving me pain

While they are sucking my taste

I am crying from my heart

Is crying the only thing I see

Happiness is unknown to them

I have a son to protect

I do not know about the father

My son is not even legitimate

The world hates

As a mother, I only tell you, son, do not be afraid

You are bound by love, never break The protected path

The whole world knows my love

No one has seen my chest

Those who have dragged me into bad things

Oh, it is well done

The crowd of lovers who meet at night

During the day, I am angry

I am not the only one who knows if I am wrong

What they did was right

They came and went but stopped

No one has the heart

To stay close and love ..

When will I meet someone?

I too, have the heart to find a husband and a house

I am alone in the world

I am not happy with the marriage
