Revenge

I believe in revenge

It's stubborn just like my dying husband's heartbeats,

Seeing scarlet rivers flow throw his stomach, profusely

My heart asunder, tears flowing with the vermilion agony

Dear stranger, you took away my heaven and brought hell,

I hope I bring you the worst of hell too.

Karma is an endless chain

I believe in revenge, Pain for pain

Cacophony of screams vibrating in my ears,

Syncs with my screeches, tears flowing with vermillion agony

Dear stranger, I want to hear your screams which are mellifluous to me

Karma is infinite

I believe in revenge

Eyes rheumy glancing the pain, death playing hide and seekĀ 

Knocking catastrophe, tears now blending with vermillion agony almost washed away

Dear stranger, I am silent before the calamity

Karma will reach you.

Vermillion stands for traditional sindoor which is red orange powder put as a cosmetic. Indian women's use it as a sign for their marriage. When the sindoor is smudged off or wiped it indicates the women has lost her husband.
