I feel scared just reading about relationships like that..
ReplyDeleteWow this is such an awesome piece... Just a few chosen words and that speaks volumes and puts across so nicely what you wanted to convey :)...simply beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe scars will also vanish with time :)
@ nisha yes they are scary but real
ReplyDelete@ Ira I hope they heal..
The brutality of this life!
ReplyDeleteThey say time heals. Does it? Maybe they talk about bruises.

ReplyDeleteThis is sad reality of our double faced society.
