Poetry

Is Everything Fair in Love and War?

Unrequited Love-

Cremating your longing on the pyre of extinguished heartbeats,

And, hiring an ‘Unfaithful’ spy only to

Feed your ears with the truth half-known.

As the ‘feeling’ speaks for itself,

Not reciprocated or returned in kind

You know what to do about it.

Either you confront me behind the closed doors

Or set your ego ablaze

Only to prove that

Everything is fair in love and war.
