All you see
Is the sunny yellow
Of her attire,
And the henna
On her hands,
But do you know
That no one
Has asked her
What she wants yet?
All you see
Is the traditional,
Red lehenga,
And the striking gold jewelry
She adorns,
But do you know
That no one
Has asked her
What she wants yet?
All you see
Is the royal green
Of her sari,
And the sparkle
Of the diamond ring
Adorned on a finger of the hand
Held onto by a man
Who turned too quickly
From stranger to all,
But do you know
That no one,
Not a soul,
Ever asked her
What she wants?
