Uttara

I had waited from dawn to dusk 
Prayed for one more day. 
Will you please come back to me?
Just for another stay?
Instead of a murder of demons, 
Blood-soaked and silent, you lay.
You dreamt of a future, 
I have him in my womb.
Only now, he will never know his father 
And you will never guide him. 
Strange how this wheel of Dharma,
That you uplifted every day,
Where is my Justice?
Why am I its prey? 
Led to such a tragic injustice to us 
You left me here stranded 
Almost like a curse.
