Trust Me, My Dear

by Shruti S
(Puducherry, India)

Remorse and guilt fills my heart…
Of the truth which my lips quivered to part…
Yet, hesitantly answered in the negative when asked…
The stinging tears which my smile effortlessly did mask…

Look into your eye and confess, wanted I…
Tormented my heart, when truly did I lie...
Trusted me completely did You, with shame I cry…
Notwithstanding tears, which long before I thought did die….

Vain was I, but your loving heart got the better of my brain…
So great a person you are, before whom I am not even a single grain…
Its pains me to see, what deep in my heart I hide, you feel its pain…
Let go of my ego will I, and pour down unto you, as the torrential rain…

In cruel solitude, erred have I, reasoning falling on deaf ear…
What if you won’t forgive me, is still my biggest fear…
Try I might now, I cannot hold my tear…
Fervently pray do I, Trust me my dear…

The End
