WAITING FOR THE NEXT SUNRISE

He spilled water on me,
I forgave him,
He is only a human I thought,
Next week,
He spilled ink on me,
Tiny rivulets made way across my dress,
colouring my body blue,
I still forgave him,
It's okay to make mistakes I thought,
I laughed it off,
Until I had tears,
A few weeks later,
He said he loved me,
I looked into his eyes,
And laughed like it was the funniest joke I had ever heard,
He never said anything,
A few weeks later,
I walked across the street,
My hair flowing wildly against the wind,
I never saw it happen,
When my hair smoked like there was a fire around me,
and the smell of the burnt flesh hit my nose,
My body boiled like it was on fire,
I still didn't understand what happened,
I didn't understand when they did a plastic surgery,
I stand across the balcony,
facing away from the wind,
I wait for the next sunrise,
for the day I could forgive myself,
for trusting the boy who wore a tag of feminism,
and made rape jokes...

By this poem I want to tell you that people who do acid-attacks or rapes are not unknown people most of the times, they are the same people you once trusted, never trust anyone so much that you end up getting in a situation you could avoid😢😢
