A heartbreak poem, where the speaker expresses his agony and torment due to lies that were told to her. She wonders if she is the only one suffering or is it both ways.

This poem is a quest by Nandini Gupta, seeking answers form life, for being unfair to her. These are questions about emptiness in her life. Is it only her, or is life unfair to others as well?
