In the embrace of love, I found solace,
Yet pain lurked in the shadows, relentless,
A dance of joy and sorrow intertwined,
Leaving scars on a heart once aligned.

Your touch, both tender and cruel,
Ignited flames, yet left me in the cool,
A paradox of warmth and cold,
In your arms, a story untold.

Whispers of love, sweet and pure,
Echoed with a pain hard to endure,
A melody of bliss and despair,
In every breath, a silent prayer.

Through the tears, I saw the light,
Love and pain, a constant fight,
Yet in this struggle, I found my way,
Embracing both, come what may.
