Despair And Love Poem by Aman Biswas

Promises and lies
They all seem the same
One with a facade to disguise
The other hiding in plain sight

Neither hurt when are said
But when realized, they bring pain
Like a bullet shot through the knee
Which goes right by with glee

Even love can't cure the pain
Thrust into the soul by broken trust
Let alone make the person smile
It gives only but more reason, to make him cry

For, once when love loved him
He felt invincible. Now when love loves else
Despair feels but like a shadow
In things that are so much more bigger than him

The lies, they tear through his soul
Despair knows now nothing but sorrow
The smile given to him by hope which love lent
Now gone, only to land in someone else's hands
