The tigress

A tall giant tigress kept another tigress real close. Some might say that she had found a mate in another tigress. But what the smaller tigress didn’t know was the tigress is hurt and is bleeding and her wounds are getting bigger day by day. The pain and the suffering spread to the smaller one. 

The smaller one gave and did everything to make her happy, even applied specially made lotion to her wounds but at night the tigress would scratch them so that they would never heal. She found a smaller tiger one day in the forest, she never bought him home to meet the other tigress but she used to talk a lot about him. By this time the smaller tigress felt that the tigress is giving all the attention that was previously kept specially for her to this other tiger. The smaller tigress opened her heart for her and gave it to her which was ultimately filled with sorrow and pain. They say, “pain and suffering and darkness engulfs the light and happiness around you if you care for darkness more than the light”. 

This is what happened. The tigress got bored and kept meeting the tiger on a daily basis. She even broke her sacred promise to the smaller tigress and started spending even less time with her. This broke the sensitive light soul and she was driven to madness. It did not come flooding at once. The madness crept every day and every night the tigress was not home, was not with her. It finally took her when she could not bear to think about it anymore. Tigress kept making more false promises that she is broken and she did not want to lose the smaller one. She even said she loved her. This was what kept her in the cave for so long, that was hers in the first place. 

One day, tigress bought the young tiger in the cave and totally ignored the smaller tigress. She felt abandoned. She felt the same kind of her and need emanating from tigress towards tiger what she experienced all her life for herself… Tigress used to say, “I am so deeply wounded that whoever talks nicely to me now, I give them all of myself.” This made the smaller tigress doubts her own actions. She somehow knew that she would never be happy with her but she stayed. Stayed because the tigress kept insisting that she loved her and did not want her to go. 

But as the tiger visits increase, and ore time was given to her. All the forest thought that they were a couple and married which broke the smaller tigresses’ heart even more. Tigress never rectified anyone. She never said that the tiger is not that important to her as much as the other tigress is. This drove her to madness. She ended up in the madhouse. 

Now the needy greedy, in need of love tigress is living with the young tiger. The tigress brings another guest nowadays. An older tiger. The younger one is open and wounded. Tigress never stopped scratching her wounds. She never nursed them, never did let anyone fill them. The only way she was keeping herself from going mad was the idea of love she thought she might get back. The one who gave her the long deep gash so long ago. The young tiger ended up I the madhouse too.

The older tiger never came. The tigress waited with open wounds. Spilling the sadness and the darkness into every other being that into her shadows. The smaller tigress is recovering, he younger tiger killed himself. And the world watches on as a broken heart took so many lives in its way…

They said, “Love is the way”, but loving a lot and caring a lot, “KILLED THEM”, “RUINED THEM” forever!
