This poem is purely literary. It is inspired by this rhythmic Hindi song ‘Tera Ghaata’ which is an awesome post breakup song or if someone has just rejected your proposal. I love the scene at the end where he keeps the ring back in his pocket. Self-respect, man! Please listen to this three year old melody. I’ve embedded the video, and written the lyrics and English translation below for your reference. I highly recommend it. Please read my poem with an open mind and out of respect for the written word. To me, writing is my life. There is nothing I love more. I have a very creative imagination. I have always written from my heart …about topics that I am passionate about – Christianity, makeup, melancholic poetry, food, romance, women’s issues, soulful music, narratives etc. Given the circumstances, my gender, situation, geography etc., I feel the need to put up a disclaimer every time I write a romantic/melancholic piece. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But, please don’t interpret this poem in a way it was not intended. That is just my humble request. Please refrain from attempting to draw parallels to my life as much of what I write is fiction. Please note, some of my writings may contain material unsuitable for children.
Your Loss – poem by Ruelha
It's time to get back my self respect. I had lost every smidge of it, last I checked. If I'd given any more, I'd breathe my last. I was already paralyzed in an entire body cast. I fulfilled my duty. Every responsibility. You rejected my ring. You had plenty of time to think. You chose your path. Of your memories, I've taken a bath. You rejected commitment. And chose abandonment. I still wish you well. But, I need to think about myself. It's time to get back my self respect. I'm done being sorry for not being your perfect. Now, it's your loss. My every effort you tossed. While I laboured to repair. you'd only enjoy and stare. No effort on your part. That lone point, you'd keep on harp. It's time to get back my self respect. I'm going to be my own architect. Now it's your loss. Surely, you weighed the cost. Of course, I lost time and effort. Trusting you, assuming you were a good shepherd. Dreams and so much more. But, I'm no longer keeping score. Because now it'll be your loss. Surely you analyzed and weighed your actions considering the cost. I had dedicated myself to slavery. Chose to love you unconditionally. Although I was sunken deep in misery. But finally, you chose to set me free. And from here, when I see, I really like this new me. Return my investment, my ring. It's time for me to smile and sing. It's time to get back my self respect. You'd think I'd continue attempting to resurrect. But now it's going to be your loss. Surely before doing all that, you must have weighed the cost.

Tera Ghaata Song Lyrics
Kuch soch ke bola hoga tumne Ye pyaar bhi tola hoga tumne Ab na hai toh phir na sahi dilbar Iss dil ko ye samjha liya humne Isme tera ghata Mera kuch nahi jata Zyada pyaar ho jata Toh main seh nahi pata (x2) Hmm… Kuch khaas tha ye jaan leti jo Meri nazar se dekha hota tumne Iss baat ka bas gham hua mujhko Thodi si bhi koshish naa ki tumne Isme tera ghata Mera kuch nahi jata Zyada pyaar ho jata Toh main seh nahi pata (x2) Hmm… Socha nahi tha zindagi mein yun milogi Milke bhi tum na meri ho sakogi Par yaad aayegi jab bhi tumhari Shiqayatein na hongi bas dua rahegi Ab aur kya kehna hoga humne Karna tha jo woh kar liya tumne Shayad rahun ya na rahun dilbar Badla kabhi ye faisla tumne Isme tera ghata Mera kuch nahi jata Zyada pyaar ho jata Toh main seh nahi pata (x2)
Tera Ghaata Lyrics Translation by Ruelha {Hindi to English}
You must have considered some things and said what you did. {no}
You must have weighed/measured this {my}love.
If it's a 'no', then a 'no' is fine, my beloved.
I made this heart{of mine} understand it.
In all of this, it's your loss.
Of mine, nothing is going. {lost}
If I had loved any more,
I would not have been able to bear.
In all of this, it's your loss.
Of mine, nothing is going. {lost}
If I had loved any more,
I would not have been able to bear.
There was something special, you could have discovered it.
If you had seen through my view/vision{perspective},
I am just sad/disappointed about that..
You didn't try even a little bit.
In all of this, it's your loss.
Of mine, nothing is going. {lost}
If I had loved any more,
I would not have been able to bear.
In all of this, it's your loss.
Of mine, nothing is going. {lost}
If I had loved any more,
I would not have been able to bear.
I never thought, in life, you would meet me like this.
And then even after encountering you, I wouldn't be able to make you mine.
But whenever I will remember you,
there would be no complaints, only blessings.
Now what more can I say?
You have done what you wanted to do.
I may or may not be there, beloved.
If you ever change this decision.
In all of this, it's your loss.
Of mine, nothing is going. {lost}
If I had loved any more,
I would not have been able to bear.
In all of this, it's your loss.
Of mine, nothing is going. {lost}
If I had loved any more,
I would not have been able to bear.

“Your Loss” (My Version)
SMiles Dear Rue How Beautiful
Metaphors Will Be Used to
Feel Our Realities Differently
Like ‘This Break-Up Song’ May
Be Surely Related to Failed Religion too…
Oh, How i Forgave them When They Said Single
Women Were Not Fit to Raise Children As My Divorced
Mother Surely Did Her best; Oh, How i Forgave them When
They Drove Closest Relatives to the Barrel of A Gun Over Convincing
Parents that Their Loving Homosexual Children Were Not Blessed By
God in the Way they Love; And Even IN the Height of Ignorance, Comparing
Hurricanes That Spread the Warmth of Oceans So Life; All of Life Will Thrive Globally
And Not Just Humans Who Are Ignorant Enough to Live Close to Flooding Oceans,
Rivers, Gulfs, And Bays and the Such; And Devil Yes, Comparing That to Loving
Ways of Homosexuals And Denigrating People Who Are Born Not Clearly
of One Gender or the Other; i Mean Hell, the Christian Kids Tried
to Convince me i Was A Girl, Even though i Felt Like A Boy
Inside And they Thought i Looked Like A Girl on the
Outside; And You Know What, i’ve got some
Links for them (Now Adults) if they
Are Still Confused
About My Gender; Honestly
In “Free Verse Nude Poetry” That Truth is Spread All over
The Internet Now Wth ‘Zero Gospel of Thomas Verse 37 Shame’;
True, i Forgave the Church For All of that And Even Lived Through
Them Comparing Trump, A Real Father oF All Lies As Some Kind of
God Given Gift oF Lies to All; ‘Him’, Promising ‘He’ would Shoot Folks on 5th
Avenue And Loyal Sheep of Church Would Still Follow Him As Close to
600,000 Pandemic Deaths Still Speak by the Ignorance of His Unmasked
Behavior Modeled in Church As Well; Yes, it was Almost the Last Final
Straw, When i asked Masked to Be Seated in a Safe Space Masked
in Church by the So-called ‘Grand Knight, Attempting to Sandwich
Me Between Two Rows of Unmasked Trump Following Fools, Then
True i Said it (NO) Loud Enough for the Whole Church to Hear
And Trust me Even when i Sneeze in Church it Sounds Like a
Shot-Gun Blast Going Off; Like When the Priest Said
What Garment of Love to Wear for Jesus Love;
And Like Lightening that comes
Before Thunder Faster
That the Speed oF Love
i Asserted MASK
From the Back Pew
to the Front Pew Magistrate Priest;
(Everyone Needs A Money Table
Turning Over Day, Now And Then Again)
Anyway, i Faced the Priest; ‘Him’ Unmasked
And Told ‘Him’, If We Are to Respect The Sanctity
of Life Breathing We Will Require Masks to Save Human
Souls in All Masses; He Remained Silent As A Trump Sheep;
At This Point That Matthew Part of the Old New Testament
of Changing Sheep into Goats And Burning Them Forever
Crossed my Mind Yet Just as A Joke As Only the
Worst Psychopathic Ghost Author Could
Ever Dream up A ‘Silence
of the Lambs’
Horror
Story
in Human
Cannibal Torture That Way…
Even After that i went to the
One Last Masked Mass With Forgiveness
And What i Heard was Never Any Rebuke Over
Trump Inciting A Resurrection to Overthrow Democracy;
‘He’ Was Only Praised The Whole Way Through Even by
Claim That God Told the Priest God Says Vote Trump; Yuck,
So Yeah, i left; i gave up Church For Lent; Nope, Not Just 40 Days
Then, Yet 2 Months; And truly the only Reason i Go Back Now is the Old Ladies
Hehe About My Age now, hAha, tell me i lift them up with the Voice of Angel
Singing From the Back Row Pew; True Rue, ‘They’ Tend to Look Around When
i Open my Mouth
And
Sing
‘Here i am’
Probably Shared
it With You Before
(Yes, True i Did)
Yet What the Hell
And Heaven Might
As Well Share ‘Here i am’ again…
It’s True i Forgive and Return no Matter what…
Not all Do; And God No, i Damn sure Don’t expect
Everyone to be a ‘Goodie Two Shoes’ Floating A Cloud Like me Hehe..
Yeah, Like in 2017, When i Came to Church Late on Christmas Day And
No Usher offered me a Seat to not inconvenience Anyone As i Always Do
Move to Keep my Legs From Going Numb And It Works, So Yes, i Do it Without Fail….
Swaying Standing All The Way Back, the Priest Talked About Jesus Standing in Front
Of A Crowd Taller Than Everyone Else Seated And You Know what; i Said No Thanks
to myself;
‘You; already
Crucified
‘Him’ Once
And You’d Do it
Again on Capital Hill;
Like Y’all Already Do Now;
The Banners Hanging By A
Gallows That Said ‘Jesus Saves’
And ‘Jesus 2020’, While Chanting
‘Hang Mike Pence’; if ‘Jesus’ Was
(Not the Italian Renaissance Leonardo
DaVinci Painted Last Supper WASP Version;
the Real Hung Little Middle-Eastern Brown Man)
Around ‘He’ Would Have ‘Suited’ Them Fine too… AGAiN…
i Will Never Ever Die For Fools; Way too Clever A Fool For That…
i Will Always Be Way too ‘Big’ For ‘Them’ to ‘See’; Only Way ‘Jesus’ if Real
Could Come
Back too…
It it is
A Rather
Ironic Loss…
That Always Returns; Just Love Now, NoW, NOW;
Just Love Now That Is Real And Always Forgives
Never Fearing Criticism; Love That Just Returns
NoW WHere Giving, Sharing, Caring, Freely, For ALL,
Loving All; Yes, With Least
Harm is The Only Worship
(Love/God)
Inherent
Faith InDeed
Thanks Giving For Giving Now…
‘Bout the Best Compliment
i Will Give You Rue is You Deserve You…
At Best It Will Be The Same For All Others too With Thank You..:)
