Ache of absence 💔

A Poem on Family Dynamics and Complexities of Relationships by Savage Tongue

2 min readApr 25, 2025

--

A raw and honest exploration of pain, family dynamics, and self-discovery, navigating the complexities of relationships.

Why do I cry every time,
even though it has happened many times?
They say you get habitual of pain,
I guess my efforts are still going all vain.

I know, they are my family and friends
who never loved me till the end.
They say fight is a symbol of love,
and teach you to put yourself below and everyone else above.

They are supposed to be your supporters in the hard time.
But I cry mostly because of them, and I guess now it’s my deadline.
My heart is aching and telling me to step aside,
'Cause it doesn’t matter if you tell them or hide.

It’s hurting my eyes,
even if I tell my heart it’s a lie.
But it’s true that they were never by my side—
they were in front of me,
the reason for my sorrow, not the glee.

Maybe I was born to be alone.
Hope I will be happy when expectations are gone.
It’s midnight and I am doing an appraisal—
is it worth my peace…
