The Unwanted Lover Poem by Arti Chopra

Pain has been
my faithful companion,
My friend
My confidante
Or is it
A lover
But what love is this?
That seeks a
Breaking away,
A good bye
A final farewell
For I seek
Freedom.....
From this bondage
Freedom from this dawn
of a pain filled morn,
That carries into dark pain filled nights
Towering, screaming heights
Like tall craggy dark cliffs,
In a bottomless valley
I weep in silence,
And entreat for deliverance,
And yet it doesn't leave me
I have tried to befriend it
For it is unrequited love
But it cares not,
It loves me with a passion
Loves me in its own fashion
I know now
What is the agony
Of
Gut wrenching
Paralysing
PAIN
Yet I live on
Smiling,
For one day
Perhaps...
It will go.......
