LOVE’S PROBLEMS

I fell in love with an accountant

She used me to balance her past

Now, my life is like bad debt

I fell in love with a lawyer

She left me in the tears

And I became a mere acquaintance

not a witness in her life

I fell in love with a programmer

She put all her bugs on me

Till I was unable to run

I fell in love with an actress

At first, it was a movie

Then, it ended in tragedy

Now, I think I am in love

This time with a chemist

Though, I am afraid

of ending up as a mere reaction

or fan out like combustion

This is my dilemma

That, I end up in another form

If it turns out well

Maybe, I turn to ashes

If it doesn’t work out
