I asked you not to read my diary.
I had a right to tell you as it was written by me.
So what if you are my wife?
So what if the society has tied us for life?
That space is mine and only mine,
I would fiercely defend it all the time,
No I wouldn’t let anyone come near it.
But you did and I feel this was full of deceit.
You covered it up by saying I cheated.
You said you wouldn’t have known if not for it.
But what would you get by doing so?
Some pat on you inflated ego?
And do you know what it did to me?
I felt robbed or I would say molested.
Just the same as I felt as a child,
When that man touched me inappropriately,
I trusted him like I trusted you,
But both of you were the same:
Your intentions were convoluted;
And this entire thing left me feeling violated.
