Conflict & Tension In Love (Shakespearean Sonnet) Poem by ashok jadhav

Between our hearts, sharp words like shadows fall,
Where once was light untroubled by distrust;
Pride builds its walls, though love still hears the call,
And hope grows thin beneath the weight of "must."
We wound with truths half-spoken in our fear,
And guard our pain as though it were our right;
Yet in the clash, our longing still draws near,
Refusing fully to abandon light.
For love is forged where harmony is tried,
Not in the calm that never learns to bend;
Through strain and doubt, our souls are purified,
If both will choose to heal, not merely fend.
Thus tension tests, but need not love undo—
It asks for courage, patience, and truth too.
