“LOVE, DECEPTION, BETRAYAL” by Ali Kaunain, Lahore

topic: LOVE AND HEARTBREAK medium: TEXT

as shared at a PenTales event themed “Love and Heartbreak”

We can all fly, take the road or the sea……

Will it really take us to our destiny…….  

Some are liars, some are violent, some don’t even care……

Leaving others hurt, wounded in a cauldron of despair……. 

Run we can all, hide we can none…….

We will all have to pay for what we have done…… 

Betray me, deceive me, crush me altogether……..

Call yourself a saint, it hardly even matters……. 

Desert me once, runaway twice……..

You think you’ve escaped the darkest of nights……. 

‘True Love’ you boast about, your affection & care……..

Undevout & profane is your spirit, ‘Cruel’ is your name…… 

Venomous kisses, fake embraces of faith……

Scars of sheer brutality not even beauty can efface….. 

Shades of hatred reign…….

Silent screams of suffering’s echo inside my veins……

Standing in flames of torture, I repent & blame!
