many nights found me in tears, longing
many days arrived with expectation, hoping
each year began to pass with my faith, waning
until reality left my heart, despairing

all the while you left me here, languishing
with eyes on stars and dreams, wishing
aware of something precious, dying
I await it's last breath, greiving

with alluring voice, you kept calling
on wings I'd come, answering
only to find your mysterious smile, teasing
for you had no intentions of loving

me

Another song for you I am singing
I swear, the last one I am writing
for your silence left my heart breaking
and there exist no reasons for fighting,

right?

Such a beautiful ache to this Tier.
A lovely lyrical piece that could be put to music.
Love the way it sounds read aloud.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

"Another song for you I am singing

I have felt this song myself and recognize the tune in your words.  Lovely sad write, Tier.   ........jo

This one almost got by me.

Now, let me push it back to the front, so others can enjoy it too.

Classic Tier longing, pleasure and pain intertwined in a dance with no promises.

A lovely, eloquent ~ but wistful write ~ with a touching plaintiff plea at its end ~ "Right?"

It was a pleasure to read you again!
