Entrenched in a veil of misunderstanding,
our relationship treads on a path of frailty.
Tremors of raucous feelings erupt
whorls of pain rives my soul.
I hold on to the scraps of buried memories
imprisoning the unsaid words, within the fortress of my heart.
I tether firmly to the cord holding us together,
hoping one day,
the clamor of the incredulous mind clears.
Petals of integrity unfurls its magic
to rekindle the lost affinity, with a blossom of love!
Reena’s xploration challenge #192

This pain needs a lot of loving care and understanding to revive the relationship back. Only a few are willing to invest in it. Just hoping in this case it works. Thanks dear Pragalbha. Much humbled by your kind words of appreciation ❤️❤️

Painful! I am glad it ends well. ❤ I think all relationships tend to drift apart and then back together again, at frequent intervals, and they all need frequent maintenance to survive. It sounds like somebody ignored somebody for almost too long! Nicely done, Radhika!
