I feel bitter,i feel cold
it's a shame this feeling's old.
Twelve days i did wait for you,
three more did i implore you
& wait & wait i did some more,
i strained my ears,i walked the floor.
Yet still i hear not your signal,
nor your footstep on the shingle.
Have you betrayed me??¿
With your love,have you slayed me??¿
I bid you no ill fortune,
but please just end this torture.
Will you kindly now appear??¿
Or will we never again meet here??¿
The questions,they come & go,
the answers truely you should know.
Along your path have you been harmed??¿
Or by some other,are you charmed??¿
Do you love me,do you know??¿
Do you hate me,would it show??¿
No evil would i bear you,
but with no other would i share you.
I simply wish to know.

The pain of not knowing is conveyed with stark realism for me in this. I feel for you.

May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

Powerful piece of work here! I too can feel the pain and fear of not knowing that leaps out in your words.

Love and hugs,

The pain shows in your words.. Gripping yet honest. It shows a humans true feelings. Wonderful work.

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Hi Swampola

I agree with what's been said before.

A very expressive piece.
