I See Now ...
A Reflection on Love and Betrayal
Description:
“I see now…” is a poignant poem by Bahi, written on 26.01.2020. It delves into the themes of love, betrayal, and realization. The poet uses the metaphor of a flower to depict the innocence and beauty of a relationship, which was ultimately discarded with callousness. Through evocative imagery and powerful emotions, Bahi captures the essence of disillusionment and the harsh truths of love.
I see what she was to you,
Like a flower, you found beautiful
From a whiff of her innocent fragrance.
Like a flower, you easily plucked
Although she was not yet ripe.
Like a flower, you called a “treasure”
With your deceiving forked tongue.
Like a flower you discarded,
So heartlessly… so… callously…
Like a replaceable flower,
You plucked another.
I see now…
I see what she meant to you.
