Give and Take

I came to give,


She to take,


That I was meant to pay,


And she was to receive.


 

Religious obligation it was,


Even though I was deprived,


Of joy, contentment and so on,


I had to perform the custom thus.


 

It might appear ironic to some,


Perhaps a bitter truth,


That fate entrapped me in,


A feeling for me so gruesome.


 

The best part was that,


I tasted freedom as the birds,


Rule everyday,


Across the planet.


 

Perhaps I was the loser,


By giving,


Perhaps by receiving,

 

She became the loser!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The last stanza is a little ambiguous! I hope you like the poem. :)
