She looked at me with imploring eyes
I looked away, one more time
She has no right to survive
I decided I must smother her
And leave her to die
For I knew, if I didn’t
Someday, she would defy
And reveal all my lies
Those till date, I had disguised
Under the shroud of societal validity
She must always hide
For I had no courage to change the tide
And divulge that inside this body of a man
A lively, vivacious woman wailed everyday
To be free from bondage
Of small human minds!
If only, she could survive…
