La Visage de Femme

Visual Diary of an Unnamed Belle

“Everything I’ve learned and unlearned.
Everything I am and everything I’ve ever been.
You’re now a witness of my life”

-Anamika Dutta

Roulette

Does your heart get heavy when you crawl out of her bed?
Tiptoeing to the front door before the tears are shed,
Little whispers and whimpers are heard,
A little after breaking the walls around the heart that once barred.

 

One fine day I had spent in your company from dusk to dawn,
Unaware of the battles afterwards that went on and on.
Quite expected out of one naïve soul like me,
Had I any clue, forlorn, as lost as I could be.

 

Till now my will’s withheld perhaps forgotten with other promises;
They’re buried under my honor and your thousand kisses.
Now, I await the next little prey to fetch for you,
Taking little rounds in those dark alleys in your game for two.
