Inhuman

Why have you done this dear
Complaining about my message texts
To Seniors
Dirty competition has made you blind
You behaved like a child
I know I am emotional
You were my best friend
Only 4 months?
After 4 months true colours
Emanated from you
You threw me away
No eye contact
No human talk
Avoid, ignore, rejection
Not interested in talking with me
Why? Why? Why?
Have I always given you sorrow
You were my best friend
My mentor, my guide, my joy
The tea, bus journey, smile
All fake, de humanity, dead
You wanted to know my weakness
So you came close to leaving me
Was this betrayal needed at all?
Inferiority complex – what?
You have made me suffer
I cried and begged you
You cut my phone calls
What was worse was that
You complained about me
You avoided my road always
You disliked me
I always asked you the reason
But you concealed it
Why Why Why?
Is the reason only this?
Or deep inside another reason
Swims in tide
Which you do not want to reveal…
Was I your friend only or more
I do not know yet
But what you did was inhuman
You have torn my heart
Broken my friendship
Still, I don’t know the answer
and I know there will be no reply too
I hate you
Do you also detest me dear?
Your eyes say reverse
Care emerges from it
Still you hold yourself tight
I know you are married
You have 2 children
You were still my friend
Have I crossed any boundaries
Gave you any hope
You were my best friend
But you betrayed our friendship
Still I will miss those happy days
research works, camaraderie, tea
Talk, bus journey and joy
The lost time can never come
Only memories retain
Of us fragmented forever
