Doubts Shed
Was she to be blamed?
Nah!
"He would forever remain mine"
Hadn't she claimed.
But her confidence
Was given literally a body blow
Openly cheating on her
Making her feel 'down and low'
She carried this
'Failed wife' burden all through
'Why did I marry in such haste?'
She would rue
Not just this
She started eyeing all with suspicion
According to her
There was no exception
Even when she fell a second time
And he wasn't the usual, dozen to a dime
He often asked her to shed
How could she
Be so open about her modesty?
And that too without the essential 'trust'
But he showed childlike obstinacy,
Saying it's a 'must'
Over the period she felt comfortable
Till one fine day
She was able....
Peeling one by one
The flimsy top, the red hot lingerie
It was for him to see
That finally all her doubts had been shed
And amazed he was
Mesmerized by the beauty of his beloved.
