No comfort for this heart of mine-
Solace taunting, hiding beyond my reach
The edges of my world crumbling
Falling, falling before my eyes
As Despair invades my hollowed soul.
I cannot staunch the flow
Of the tears falling in my hand
Flooding my mind with thoughts of you
Your voice haunts my every dream
Your sweet embrace, your tender kiss-
Whispers of days forever lost
Linger long deep within.
A love from which there is no escape
Renders me helpless and broken.
Am I only dreaming,
Do I love in vain?
If all is real, then whisper, my love-
Tell me your dreams,
Sing me your songs-
Make me no promises
Tell me no lies;
I long to believe
Yet I cannot.
And so, I shall love from afar-
If what I feel is love at all.
Excellent poem, very well written.
