The poem reflects on the emotional distance and disappointment in a loveless (or "dutiful") marriage. It is inspired by a controversial comment in Indian news in early 2025, about prioritizing work over family. It explores themes of neglect and societal expectations, highlighting the painful truths hidden in relationships and the struggle between duty and genuine connection.
