Dowry Deaths

The scars remind me of the night

When you burned me as sun shines bright

My dreams turned into ashes

And tear drenched eyelashes

Scars of betrayal are more deeper

Than a crime committed by a sinner

I burned like a comphor

You watched our boiling baby in my womb

But nothing made you bother

You left me alone in hospital to die

Breeze carried my soul as feather light
