Infatuation

by Sharbaaniranjan Kundu

One who has no love for me in her breast,
how long shall I cherish her
in my heart, in my mind?

On innumerable occassions
she has ditched me,
but when she came and stood before me
in her need,
I could not turn her away.

I have showered gifts,
without expecting reciprocation,
but even then
no reciprocation!

She goes to people
I would much like she shuns,
but she goes to them with impunity.

With a heavy heart and a stoic mind
I try to push her away
from my being.

But I know I will never succeed.

Certain relations are not to be;
they just crop up to give you pain.

Faithlessness is some people's creed.
Kernels are too hard.
You can't crack them.
They are for germination some place else.
