Words seem empty
And they can betray
Pushing things to the edge
Knowing my faults
The horror sinks in
You would no longer be near
Filled up with remorse
If it’s worth, I am sorry
Turning in to a monster
You know very well
Our love is on the line
I want you beside me
I wish I can say that
The hurt I have caused you
And the pain I have put you through
A fear which grows inside me
Of losing you forever
I still make mistakes and mess up
But the only mistake I will regret
Is the one, one where I lose you
So here I come to you in shambles
Hope you see, that I want you forever
That I love you
I hold on to these strings of words.
Oh, the paradoxes of words coupled with the challenge of poetry. . . .
Your complexities are evident: words that are “empty” if silence is needed; then again, nothing replaces “I’m sorry” after horrors and hurt. At the close of your poem, I was cheering for you when I read, “I come to you in shambles” and valued your lessons all the more.
This poem is so profound and heart breaking
And the pain I have put your through sounds like a confession and a break up looming with you not wanting to let go but then of losing you forever
It’s well conveyed and has a lot of meaning thank you Divya for sharing your piece on Fear
Thank you so much…for commenting Sabinah and Jan
I enjoyed reading this, the poem was a very intimate story.
