Words Left Unplayed
During the chess game,
she made a good move.
I smiled a little,
typed:
"Nice"
Just felt right.
A simple thing.
No reply.
We played on.
It ended—a draw.
Then came her words.
First:
"indian"
I blinked.
Felt the air shift.
Then, second:
"monkey"
I just sat there.
Not hurt yet. Not angry.
Just… stunned.
Like: is this real?
I typed back:
"Why"
I added:
"You broke my heart"
I read it again.
Still stunned.
I didn’t know her.
Didn’t do anything.
We just played.
Then she dropped:
"virginity"
That word.
Out of nowhere.
Then:
"i no interesed"
"bye"
It didn’t sting.
It didn’t burn.
It just confused me.
Like the wind changed direction
and I wasn’t ready.
I wrote:
"Virginity?"
"What are you saying?"
No reply.
Just me,
sitting with a drawn game
and a question
I never saw coming.
Hope this poem reaches you.
To Juana Dayana
Of Colombia—
From HRS,
An Indian soul,
Caught in a drawn game’s pull.

It was just a game—until it wasn’t. A simple move, a small smile. Then her words came—sudden, sharp, and strange. This poem is me, still trying to make sense of that moment.
