Hope Pain Poem by Afzal Shauq

Pain's of hope
keeps me waiting...
Is time fixed?

Later in coming
each day it seems...
Pure torture

Is it your wish
to drive me crazy...
My mind lost.

This yearning
causing tears
accustom I've become...

This separation
intolerable
always so much pain...

Better this pain
in hopes of meeting
than never to meet.
