Trapped in torment

TRAPPED IN TORMENT

These four walls witness my pain,

In which I shut myself in,

Tears flow and I am submerged deep in my thoughts,

Even my numb heart can feel the pain within.

My heart is heavy, even my breathing echoes,

I feel the chills as my tears flow.

I shiver, I writhe in pain.

Reason for which I cry doesn’t hurt me,

But knowing that I have no one by my side hurts me the most.

I just want that person to be on my side with whom I am so close.

In this longing pain each day deeply I dive,

Writing how I feel and expressing myself has kept me alive.

I am dead inside seeking for happiness,

I have no hope,

My heart sinks into sadness.

Forgetting those memories which I ought to remember,

They are flashing in front of my eyes,

Not allowing me to sink in slumber.

I am wide awake,

Longing to feel warmth from ones care and concern,

Oh! I am so restless and miserable,

For a bit of happiness I yearn.

Sad write, we have to learn to first love ourselves enough to offer that person to another. Valentine

Sometimes being in love with the idea of love can be mistaken for truly caring for someone on that Very deep level.

To be honest, I am a person who has never experienced that sort of "happiness". I keep myself too distracted by the hectic world around me, and I end up with no time to really spend time on someone.

However, I have expirenced the same sensation of loneliness, and can relate to desiring "a bit of happiness" with someone on a romantic level.

Once again you have been able to share a lucid depiction of wanting love.

P.S. Love seems to be a common theme among your many writings.
Have you ever considered writing a piece that doesn't depict love?
To be blunt, you would ever write a "loveless" piece?

I wrote a poem about moon, smile but yes every poem of mine has the expession of love, pain etc :)

Ok, I was just curious.

Hmm. It is a good concept, and it really does connect with the audience.

[Najam Us Saher]
