One
day when I am no more,
Will
you think of me?
As
that shouting creature, who was always sore?
Will
you remember me as the wretch who never let you be?
Will
you lament my passing?
Or
will you be relieved that she no longer exists,
The
one who raised the battle flag,
The
one who made you always be on your defensive?
The
one you loved to batter always,
With
words, with jibes, and with sarcasm?
The
one you ridiculed, called a nag,
My
concern and care always expected without a tag!
I
am the butt of jokes,
Either
called a harridan or a blonde,
You
could never see the tears behind that smile,
Could
never see the hurt at very jibe?
I was burned at the stake,
I was pawned in a game,
I hid my tears
Only shared your pain
I was burned at the stake,
I was pawned in a game,
I hid my tears
Only shared your pain
Will
you for once take away those dark glasses,
And
see for yourself clearly what was always distorted ?
Will
you then shed a tear of repentance?
Will
you ever feel gratitude?
It
will be too late even if you do,
Your
voice, that tear will never reach me!
Will
I ever know??
No,
never,no!

First does it really matter what you are thought of once you are no more?
Second, do all women feel the same way? I do not think so.
The feelings expressed here indicate self doubt and guilt. There is also a fear that one may leave this world unwanted and misunderstood.
An air of despondency pervades this poem.
