Whispers of Painful Love

I loved you once, I love you still, But love like this can break the will. In every glance, a silent plea, In every touch, the ache is free. A love so deep, it feels like fire, Yet burns the heart with harsh desire. Each word unsaid, each tear unknown, A silent cry, I bear alone. You linger in my every thought, A love I found, but never caught. The dreams we shared now fade away, As hope and joy both drift astray. In loving you, I lost a part, A fragile piece within my heart. Yet even now, in all this pain, I’d walk this road with you again. For love, though cruel, is still so sweet, A bittersweet that’s incomplete. And though it hurts, I can’t deny, I’ll love you till the day I die.
