Redstockings ChronicleAug 25, 20221 min readRotten love By Vandana Chauhan The love I carry for youI have carried it for almost decades nowI have spent more time without youthan I have spent with youThe love hasn't died, but it has been ruined. It smells like rotten meat,And because I carry it,I have begun to smell like it. I carry it with me everywhere I go. I am not scared of it, but everyone else is.it's as much a part of me as much you are.Do we ever treat our loved ones with rotten food ? Do we?No matter what I do, It will smell, It will smell.No matter what I do, It will smell, It will smellI will never be able to serve it to anyoneThough rotten it's pure. I promise it's just like how you gave it to me.I treasure it everyday, everyday. the same way Mary carried Percy's heart will i be able to carry it for 30 long years.who knows, maybe the day we will meetI will serve it to you because you left me with itI will serve it to you because you... you... you... you left me with it.
