CELEBRATION OF PAIN

The pain of suffering

that makes me love you more

and desire nothing else

leaves me numb

yet rich and happier

Give me more of the pain

let me sink to the depths of despair

but not wince

and love the pain

So that there is nothing

unfelt for you

Your presence brought the happiness,

I craved for more

You gave me the assurance and solace,

I absorbed only the pain

You gave me the smiles,

I returned the discomfort

You showered love and care,

I remained distracted and distant

It is not you who caused hurt

you tended the wounds

I asked for suffering

and celebrated the pain
