You're a Pain in the Heart
Darling, show me the way to your heart,
for I am lost in a maze of quenchless passion.
Reveal to me the map to your core,
for I desire a feel of your fire.
Relinquish the trophy of your essence,
for I've bled and sweated for it.
Dance a little to my tune,
for the melody is pure and true.
Honey, since destiny unearthed you,
all has gone tasteless, and black & white
whenever I am without you,
for you are the flavor and color that enlivens me.
It is no lie that I am a picture without a frame,
for without you I am an unfinished art.
Sweetheart; sincerely, I am confused, utterly bemused
about this idea of taunting passion,
for its experience is a mystery,
yet I dare not query.
Yes, it is true I do not complain;
however I swear and curse, though it is in vain,
for this infatuation spills out pain.
Beloved, it is therefore tormenting that you toy with me so,
for even in a distressing silence, my heart calls out to you,
and with such subtle malice, you regard it with humor.
Regrettably, if fate ever turn this around,
with us fitting perfectly into the others shoes
I will not show you an ounce of leniency,
for a reason that, right now,
you're a damn pain in the heart.

Post a CommentPerfect title for this poem. A powerful and touching write.
SO TRUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....you are so talented !!!
Touching, powerful, and riveting! Truely I have been there before.
I love it. Great title, too.
Wonderful title and poem! It is always insightful to read poems written by men on the topic of love. I'm afraid that I inadvertently put someone through a similar torture as you described above back when I was in college, and he showed no mercy when I finally fell head-over-heels for him. I deeply regretted that I had once told him boldly that I looked at him more like a brother than a lover... Fortunately, I am happily married now (to someone else; not a surprise there, huh?) and neither of us has experienced unrequited love in this relationship. So glad those days are over!!!
Wow. Very powerful. Loving someone without love in return would definitely be very hurtful.
I completely can relate to this poem. I have loved someone without them feeling the same and it is truly a pain in the heart. The end of this poem is mind blowing. Keep up the good work. The picture is perfect is well.
