Bittersweet Love of A Caregiver

An entwined road,
Where love and hate meet,
The bittersweet thought,
Of that gentle hand that embraces ,
Yet strikes with sudden might. 

A yearning heart ,
With a mind that screams pain,
For a love so sweet, 
Yet it hides cruel deceit,
A burning pining, 
That is dangerously beautiful. 

The faint trust, always battling with despair,
The scars left, by her gentle touches,
Delusional love mixed with dread,
I’m a broken soul beyond repair. 

The intentional touch, 
Makes me flinch,
My smile, masked with pain,
A twisted canvas, 
Where dark secrets are engraved.
