2. The pain of hurting ....(Poem)

It was unfortunate, though in all righteousness; i inadvertently caused deep hurt to a very good friend. This is my message to that friend, in all sincerity......

The pain of hurting ……

 

You crumbled as never

Yet smiling as ever

My slashing righteousness

shattering your naive eagerness

 

Shocked out of your poise

the disquiet and the noise

Concealing all your pain 

you smiled through the rain

 

I had, with just a word

wrecked that little world,

we'd spun over the days

I cringe, at my inane ways

 

Oh to heal the rash..

and to fill the gash...

I fumbled absurdly

“Its forgotten”, you said idly

 

Your response so warm

Caused a sting in my arm

remorseful and forlorn

my tears cascaded on 

"Good days bring delight 

  and bad days insight" 

your kind words like a dart 

pierced through my heart

 

Why me, the ‘bad day’?

..chiding myself, I say

Wish I could once again

roll back time, wash away your pain..

"Good days bring joy
And bad says knowledge"

So true...
Gosh, smiling to hide the pain..
and its like smiling to hold the tear from falling.

Great piece anyway :)
