A CRUSHED EXISTENCE


Foot-steps make her shudder
Each foot-step forces her eyes go wide
driving her to look around in panic
after that fateful
incident of that night on which
she was ripped apart by
that red-eyed beast with long sharp nails.
Under the heavy weight of the burly beast
she resisted with all her strength
left in her
which made him
burst into a maniac’s laughter.
She was like a
flower with soft petals
which could be crushed easily.
Her feeble cries
for help got sunk deep for a while
with the rushing vehicles blaring
horns to and fro down the road.
Some passersby who spotted
her lying writhing in pain, calling feebly for help
rushed her to a hospital immediately
and got her treated.  
But the deep scar left by
that fateful incident
still refuses to fade away.
Foot-steps continue to shudder her
each foot-step
forces her eyes go wide
with fear and panic
driving her to look
around like a girl gone out of her sense.
