Guilt in Love

When the guilt wrenched heart seeks freedom from pain
It knows all entreaties of love shall go in vain
A good end is a misnomer & universal lie
Spoken are words that were never meant
They penetrate deep to make a dent
There remains no other way out
To get through the immeasurable pain.

I can’t touch you through the phone
To make you feel what I feel 

I may seem strong but sometimes I do peel

Guilt of unknown wrong choking the breath

I confess my sins but don’t want death

Wish I could hear you once again

My selfish wish to reduce unbearable pain.

My smile is useless if you are in tears

Hence solitude is all that I seek

I don’t want to climb a mountain peak

Without your knowledge I will find a corner in your heart

Shall reside there unknown sans art

Misery rules when a man is weak

A man like me needs so many tweak

To end it all what can never be mine

I have no option but speak bitter lies. 

All this might lessen the unbearable pain

If not, at least you shall be out of this vicious chain

I will not get love that I know

I may be absolved from guilt in love…noone knows
