Without You...I Shall Not Rest |

Where are you when this heart is sad? Are you not aware the feelings I give? Where were you when all was so bad? Listen...for within me, this heart does live! I wake to emptiness, only memories come. I rise to darkness, for within no light shines. Feelings...felt, yet lost as a heart does strum. Words of tenderness, scribed on black lines. My diary betrays my thoughts, too well. Deepest emotions penned, oft times lost. Taking me through agony, into this hell. Can you not see the emotions I’ve tossed? Speak into my heart your most tender word. Touch my soul within this love torn chest. Deliver love on the soft wings of the bird, for till then, my heart, soul, mind can’t rest. |

You've denoted the quality of "lonely" very well...something we all feel, now and then... |
