Bygones Poem by ratandeep sharma

The days were so dark and cold,
so alone and no one to hold.
Never knew what real love was,
Leading a life without any cause.

Life was broken and fragile,
single step seemed like a mile.
Chances seemed closed and rough,
society treated so mean and tough.

People stared so cruel and hateful,
completely lost and days so dreadful.
Never opened heart to anyone,
and then there came someone.

I was timid and scared,
But fortunately I dared.
Unaware what was to come?
I have always been so dumb.

Gave you what little was left,
Gladly everything did you accept.
Hoping that you would want,
my miseries that always haunt.

Timid but wanting to love again,
believed it would all go in vain.
The beating that my heart took,
gave relief when you gave a look.

Still remember what once i was,
For my joy you became the cause.
You showed me it was true and real,
My broken heart only you could feel.

So caring and a gentle touch,
Never dreamt I had so much.
Life which was so sad and blue,
you erased it and came right through.

All the pain and distrust disappeared,
In my life when you appeared.
You made me so perfect and right,
Gave me strength to stand and fight.

Believing in me and staying faithfully,
trusting me and loving unconditionally.
letting go off all the anger and regret,
thankful to god in life we met.

Crying, laughing, talking and caring,
That’s the life we have been sharing.
Who am I is what I now know,
Living in your love and your shimmering glow.
