MYTH!

You left me in such a hurry,

As if I had become a worry,

That you could no longer cope with.



The stormy wind was shaking the panes,

As your words added to the pains,

Striking and slashing like a scythe.



Darkness grew dense as I heard you,

Telling me 'Listen to me Navvu'*

'Money matters - love is a myth'.



The children were sleeping like the bird,

Nothing by anybody else was heard,

As I stumbled into an unseen ditch.



And so you have left without caring,

How I and our kids would be faring,

How the coin of ties does quickly flip!



Watching the aircraft on the western horizon,

Departing with you like a season,

My clouded eyes wept for a myth!
