Oh! such pain
letting love slip
out of my palms
how could I've been
so vain, so vain.
Now I cry
over my loss
as I realise
over the love lost
in vain , in vain.
My heart burns
and the tears drain
but futile my despair
and it remains
my pain ,my pain
I drift through
this world
with many like me
hiding the tears
in the rain , in the rain
letting love slip
out of my palms
how could I've been
so vain, so vain.
Now I cry
over my loss
as I realise
over the love lost
in vain , in vain.
My heart burns
and the tears drain
but futile my despair
and it remains
my pain ,my pain
I drift through
this world
with many like me
hiding the tears
in the rain , in the rain
Then there's another, and joy comes again and again. Loved the way you ended each verse.

Thanks Suzy you liked it.
DeleteSuch a beautiful rhytym and a pain we can all relate to
ReplyDeletethanks , love is something the whole world understands
DeleteSometimes things donot happen the way we want them to happen and love is one thing that is controlled by fate,
ReplyDeleteand your pain is my pain and everyone's for no one is spared in the end... and likewise my joy is yours for this too flickers like fireflies throughout our days and nights.
ReplyDeleteSo true Laura,we each one is a mirror of the whole world.And thanks a lot, you are my first follower , it does something to my confidence.
DeleteLosing a person one loves is very painful. The last stanza is wonderful. I especially like the repetition in the last line. The rain definitely does hide tears. But hopefully also WASH them away.
ReplyDeleteyeah , thank you .
DeleteIt really completed itself with the ending line, in the rain, in the rain. I really felt that! Love the style! It reminded me of a lost love once in the rain on a busy street in London. I couldn't breath, and hardly noticed all the people. I had frozen in time with pain. You brought amazing imagery alive in so few words. I liked the line - the tears drain but futile my despair. Great poemm!
ReplyDeleteOh that feels a kind of oneness. It is what I feel about myself that we echo each others pain , joy , emotions, the whole world.....
Deletetake heart and move on.do not despair.if it is meant to be, it will happen, sooner or later.
ReplyDeletethis is an echo , I am married to a wonderful person and living with our two little boys. thanks for your comment
DeleteI echo Abin.......the one thing about such times of pain is - they ease, life becomes good again, and love can once more be found.
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment.
Deleteto have and let slip away...that is surely painful...and luckily love is to be had and smoothes out those pains...
ReplyDeleteThis went full circle for me--great last stanza I thought!
ReplyDeletethanks a lot
