Grievance

Published by

on

The beat of my heart

is singing a song

with unbearable sorrow

about Love.

Its silent, crying night and day

in a grievance,

merely saying:

Oh my love, my sweet-bitter love

how could you smash my heart so much?

    This feels raw and unfiltered, Vaso. I sense the ache reverberating in every line.
