What happens to deferred dreams of girls?
Do they evaporate?
Like the tears of an ill-fated bride
Without any traces ?
Does it end up as crimson graffiti of
a sword piercing a heart,
Tear brimming eyes
On bridal bed sheets ?
Does it appear camouflaged in devotional songs?
Or
Does it explode as psychosis?
