Love and pain

In the realm of love, emotions run deep,
A tapestry woven, secrets it does keep.
It dances and enchants, a bittersweet song,
Stirring within us, feelings so strong.

Love, like a tempest, can tear us apart,
Leaving wounds that linger, etched on the heart.
Yet, it grants us a glimpse of heavens above,
A fragile connection, a gift we call love.

Oh, love! How you captivate our very souls,
Fragrant like blossoms, tender like coals.
You paint vibrant rainbows through tears we shed,
A paradoxical beauty, where joy meets dread.

In moments of bliss, love lifts us on high,
We soar on its wings, in the vast, endless sky.
But alas, it can plummet us into despair,
Leaving us shattered, gasping for air.

Love's gentle touch, an ethereal grace,
A tender caress that time can't erase.
But when it withers, like petals to ground,
The ache it bestows is profound.

The memories linger, like whispers in the night,
Each stolen glance, every stolen delight.
Love's ebb and flow, a constant tide,
An emotional journey, where hearts collide.

Sometimes, love's demise brings tears to our eyes,
As we mourn what was lost, with sorrow's guise.
But in every teardrop, a story unfolds,
A testament to the love that once enfolded.

So let the tears flow, like a river's embrace,
For they cleanse our souls, leaving traces of grace.
In the depths of our weeping, we find release,
A cathartic surrender, a sense of peace.

Love, with all its pain, still remains divine,
A force that connects, transcending time.
So shed tears for love, let them freely flow,
For in that vulnerability, true healing can grow.

And as the tears cascade down your face,
May they nourish the spirit, leaving no trace,
For love, though it may make us cry,
Can also teach us how to truly fly.
