Hurt

Didn't you realise I was hurt the other day ?

Shards of glass pierced into my soles as I walked barefoot. You seemed to be aloof. I never said anything. You told someone else,"She's brave enough to handle it all alone". I wish you had come and asked me.

You sleep silently all day, refusing to acknowledge my presence.
I am not complaining ; I simply wait to hear your voice. I long to be looked at. Your gaze is my only desire. But you don't.

Don't you realise I'm hurt by your reluctance ?

It has vested the armed forces with absolute power mainly to aid fight against terrorism and insurgency. Several unprovoked arrests, tortures, rapes and deaths go unnoticed under the wraps of AFSPA.Unmarked graves have been found in the valley. Fake encounters and disappearances make headlines.  At times, it is a case of mistaken identity. Violence in Jammu and Kashmir has increased since implementation of AFSPA in 1990.
