I could almost, if I tried, let it fall
A tear for you, whom I love not.
For you loved me.
I knew it, yes, long I believe
Ever since I read my casual words
Carved on your countenance.
I dare not surmise - I fathom your despair.
I have yet to suffer
The wanting and the waiting,
The soul-wrenching agony,
Of loving one
Who loves not me.
Between pains -
Of him and me and now you
And then those to come -
I hunt for happiness,
Salvageable joys.
Relentlessly,
…
Life goes on.

I repeat Rukhiya, 'Life goes on and on and on' :)

Pouring out emotions on paper - cannot get better than this! How can you guys do this?
Rukhs, Madeeha - Keep up the good work! God bless!
(I might have chosen the wrong poem to respond - forgive my profanity. As it turns out, my response was spontaneous. Among all I read on your blog so far, this one made me respond!)
