Painful Joy Poem by Vishal Sharma

I sat alone all day with no one but me
Nothing got done but very few tears
were shed
When you come near I sense what no
one else can see
My love is very alive yet my faith is
dead
Our us has been broken but there is
still a ‘we’
As you walk by all I can feel is the way
your heart bled
The lock to our hearts is broken but we
still hold the key
I’m happy we are over, I could take no
more
I know you begged and yes, you did
plea
We will both miss our presence but I
am filled with joy
The love we gave was not enough
Our ‘us’ was put to rest but we didn’t
destroy
It hurts to say goodbye and it’s going
pretty rough
But my smile keeps growing, no longer
is it a decoy
This pain is my reassuring joy
