Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Love Suffers Alone

Stealing your joy
I bought pleasure
Taking your courage
I spent on my fears

You gave me comfort
Embracing my love 
Charming every season
No matter the weather

Never saying a word
About how much you hurt

That's how I learned
Love suffers alone
When every hug rests
Upon empty shoulders

Valsa George February 20, 2022 at 4:23 AM Another great write Vijay ! Love is often painful. In our eagerness to be loved we expect too much or draw out too much from others, never caring to stand with them in their trials and sorrows, especially if they never complain

Vladislav Raven November 10, 2018 at 10:51 AM Hi Vijay, I love the way you express your thoughts in this write. Deep poetry, written simply. Love is a two way street, if it becomes one way it becomes fragmented. Love the content Vijay. have a wonderful Saturday. Your friend always....Mike.

Pandita Sietesantos April 29, 2018 at 9:04 AM What a wonderful insight into loving and being loved. Oftentimes, we get so wrapped up or carrried away with being the object of someone's affection that we forget their need to be loved too or the need to reciprocate! Excellent write, my dear Vijay! Best wishes. Pandita Vijay Pandit April 30, 2018 at 1:02 PM Thank you Pandita..appreciate your kind feedback.
