Love Me for Love's Sake

You had promised me

To spend your time with me

Walking hand in hand

Around that single cherry tree

Which one used to bloom

Quantum baskets of cherry flowers.


You had promised me 

Of your unconditional never-ending love.

That would stay in our hearts.

Aeons after aeons

Exemplifying the peace maintained by dove

For ending the war that bore bloodsheds

And instead giving refuge to love


You had promised me 

Promised me of every happiness

To ever be able to find in this quasi-discovered world

So that our love could acquire all the satisfaction and bliss

That we had ever wished for

For our love to grow and bloom


I still remember the day when you had promised 

To forever keep loving me

With tears filled up to the very brim of your eyes

Despite having come across the fact

That I am not a She or He

But a Transgender deservant of just enough respect in our not-for-everyone society


Where did those promises go now

The promise of not letting me go

The promise of holding on to me

Of taking a vow together before the almighty 

In our full serenity

Of loving each other till eternity


Instead of leaving me for someone better

You could have stayed and improved together

Stayed and improved our relationship

If not for the 2 days and 52 months

Then at least for the sake of our 15 yrs long friendship


It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.



Oh no! Oh no!

Now I understand why you left me

It was not because of my forever ailing fate

But because those vows and promises

And your so 'promised' love

Was forever fake.


Those lovely talks 

In our long walks

Those sweet memories of kisses

Recalling which today

Leaves me in shattered pieces

Pieces of which are mocked by those grinning faces.


Those beautiful and handsome faces

Making faces at me; me already hurt

At all those Transgenders

Who are looked down even by the poorest of maids

As if we were born to never exist this place

As if our existence is just a shit of dearth and malice.


At least they always stayed true to me

To their inner self and soul

They hated us

Hence, felt disgusted to face us

They never promised of anything

Nor did they break any.


Love O lOVE

To whomever, it may concern

Love me for love's sake

Let it not be fake.


Why do we Transgenders 

Always have to look for our own meanders?
