The Lonely Heart…

In the evening’s hour
you sit in darkness
thoughts of discarded hearts
haunt your exile

once a desired lover
demanded by your captive audience
you now live and breathe the
lonely existence of a dreary hermit

tried and judged by your own conscience
you have been sentenced to feel the
glacial touch of an ice cold hand
upon your heart, never having the true
warmth of love to call your own…
for it is always at a distance…

May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...

A whisper's Caress,

Hi Whisper's Caress,

This is very sad, but I hope you in the future will find a warming of the heart, wonderful poetry here.

Love, Cerenity

thanks for the great replies to this.

Serenity, thanks, but this was not about me,
just people in general who take love for granted, then end up sad and alone.

thanks again everyone!!!

May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...
