Sorry Excuse Of A Man

 


Funny, isn’t it?
When you wanted access to me, I was a babe,
The love of your life, sweet words on your tongue—
But when it came to taking responsibility,
You turned into a child, helpless, undone.

A sorry excuse of a guy,
Who once took pride in standing up to little bro's bullies,
But how does it feel to emotionally bully a woman
And then act like I’m the problem,
While you paint yourself as some kind of hero?

You tower at 6'2", brandishing your might,
Thinking "it" grants you a throne, a right.
But you chased hollow pleasures behind closed doors,
Believing you conquered Venus—
Is that your sad little idea of fame?

You liked me motherly, sweet to touch,
But the moment my claws came out, I was "too much."
In your sadistic world, do you call it love
When you twist your actions, manipulate my words?

You didn’t like it when I mirrored your game,
Suddenly, you’re a man who doesn’t want to beat around the bush—
But if another woman played you at your own game,
She’d be the witch of evil town, shamed and pushed.

It’s easy to blame, to call me unkind,
When I showed you a reflection of your own mind.
You say I’m a storm, a force you can’t bear,
But you thrived in chaos—didn’t you pull me there?

You wore your deceit like a well-tailored suit,
Played the victim, so charming, so astute.
But when I matched your stride, blow for blow,
Suddenly, I’m the one who’s “lost control.”

It’s you, the regressive Indian guy,
Thinking you can just throw money and buy
A woman’s time, her love, her grace,
But you’re just another man, running the same tired race.

Now you act like you’re the better man,
When you’re the one who never had depth or a plan.
You spoke of—a house, a motor—
But never once did you promise a safe space for her.

You thought adding zeroes to your bank would suffice,
Now you gamble on a doctor, rolling the dice.
But I never heard you describe a woman’s real worth,
Because acknowledging that would demand you to be a man first.

Now you dare to preach about love,
When you never understood it, not even a touch.
I was the woman moulding herself for the man I sought,
But you just wanted to put it in whichever hole you caught.

Tell me, was it power you craved, or just the illusion?
Did you think your lies would escape my intrusion?
I peeled back the layers, I saw what you hid,
The scared little boy behind the arrogant kid.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
