A Lover's Dilemma

By Utkarsh Yadav

To laugh or to weep,

What must I do,

To grasp everything,

And yet know nothing of you?

I watch you take flight,

Like butterflies within me,

You wield a subtle power,

Over my fragmented soul, I believe.

A tormenting presence,

You are both a curse and a blessing,

A light in the darkness,

Yet a shadow over my being.

I stand on the precipice,

Yearning for your touch,

Haunted by your absence,

In a world that is too much.

To love you is to suffer,

To lose you is despair,

I am a soul in torment,

Caught in a never-ending snare.

Your essence, an enigma,

Both salvation and demise,

In this cruel dance of existence,

Where truth and illusion lie.
