Endless Pain


I could never have loved anyone 
the way I have loved you.
Heart on Heart, facing life and death,
just me and you.
I could have followed you like your 
shadow, true love, I thought.

Our Souls joined as one from the 
moment we met.
With a promise of forever silently 
sealed.
Even though our time was only 
a minute, it was enough to last 
all eternity, I thought.

In my Kingdom of love, joy and 
tranquillity, an unexpected 
thunderstorm brought great sorrow.
And in my memories, the comings 
and goings, day and night, took the 
desire to face the morrow.
It pains me through and through 
to think all the joy and laughter
were nothing more than an illusion.
The head swirls like leaves in a 
whirlpool of uncertainty and 
confusion.

“I will hold your hand forever, 
and together, we will enjoy life’s 
simple pleasures”, you said.
Why did Faith douse the flicker 
from raging into a beautiful flame?
Was I deliberately being misled?
Or was it all just a game?

Tears fell continuously like a heavy
downpour of rain,
Pictures of memorable moments 
captured, now soaked and destroyed,
never to be seen again.
The heart now lives in a broken 
dream wrapped in melancholy and 
utter despair.
While the hollow shell of a tormented 
Soul lingers in an abyss, fighting 
with itself, refusing to accept that 
the rainbow of such a sweet love 
could suddenly disappear.

Dear Zyrool, this is so sad and touching. It’s so well written and the endless pain is expressed with deep feelings throughout its lines. ‘ The hollow shell of a tormented soul lingers in an abyss’- so profound. ‘ The rainbow of such a sweet love could suddenly disappear’ is poignant. Days are clouded by much loss and grief but may the sun shine bright again. Blessings and smiles to you :):)
