She lies there,
a sordid figure,
victimised by a feraenaturae beast.
Grief and pain burgeoning in her skened heart,
puddles of mud salted
by a thousand drops of tears.
what becomes of her?
who will wipe her tears?
Me?
You?
somebody?
People pass by,
showing pity
or disgust,
some even burlesqueing.
They see her ripped clothes,
Nobody sees her soul ripped over and over again.
what becomes of her bleeding heart?
who will wipe her tears?
Me?
You?
Somebody?
They talk in whispers,
put up questions-
"who'll marry her?"
"will she ever become a bride?"
"tch! what a misfortune to strike."
There are no caring hands to soothe her pain,
no patient ears to hear her silent screams,
screams which erupt in her heart and bursts within.
what becomes of her shattered dreams?
who will wipe her tears?
Me?
You?
somebody?
The puddles of mud have dried.
So have the tears.
she lies there still
that sordid figure
still her crushed soul is crying,
from the leprous gravings of the past,
still an aura of futility engulfs her.
what becomes of her scalded spirit?
who will wipe her tears?
Not me,
Not you,
Nobody.

Time we stopped asking and looking around and just went and reached out a helping hand. We can believe me, its will be a small step for man a giant leap for mankind.
I am not writing about what we should do.I want to present the naked reality.We all know what should be done but we still cringe from doing it.This should be a reminder to them, something which will make them aware that they lack something
Reality being *No one will wipe her tears*..... thats exactly what the cruel world is!! first, the beast eats you in whole then the world sucks the happiness in bits...The wrong- doer is never punished and the victim is always punished.Who on this earth will want all that pain to be inflicted? Why does this double standard world not look at the horrific life *she* has to live??
Your piece is a perfect reminder to everyone on how we never come out of the stereotypes and help the ones who require it.Very very strong indeed!!
