Love Poems & Poetry

Meri Jaan

 

Jaan, why do I long to hold you?
When my heart you have pained!
Why do I pray for your happiness?
When your thoughts cause me heartache!

Why does my heart not curse, but love you
When you have broken all promises…
My mind laughs at my heart’s battle
My soul weeps that you mirrored the rest.

Your letters I’ve read often and wonder
I must have misunderstood your promises.
To cure my heart’s wounds with your love
Not bleed me like the great Nile.

As I sit alone, hiding my tears and paining,
Half-a-world away, your singing and dancing.
My tears shed will not forgive you for deceiving me
My heart's scars forgive you, for saying- you loved me.
