between pain and joy

PAIN
anguish
suffering

abandonned in life
giving your love elsewhere
how to forgive this affront?

"Such sorrow fills my empty heart."


COLD
aloof
indifference

I remain callous
your absence is my friend
though I find little comfort

"I desire my father's warm arms"


JOY
delight
extasy

to see your bright eyes
running, your open arms
your calm smile as I approach

"Ah! pure delight in finding love."
