Care cuts deep it seeps into the soul
you can never again become one whole
a part of you is given away unwittingly
you can watch yourself agonize consciously
When grief is revealed only by the eyes
when the smile on the face so often belies
the feeling within the spirit keeps on trying
to face truth in the face while continually lying
When the care bestowed remains unrequited
the heart still does not feel hurt or slighted
it slices across veneers of physical proximity
like the presence of divinity in a Sufi’s propinquity
Not one person perceives it so silently it bleeds
not one emotion out of place so dutifully it heeds
just one look one word one effort of reciprocation
can revive dead life-force without resuscitation
Appropriately put👍
