Haunted Heart

Yearning

fingers reaching

bells chiming

message arrives

breath catches

is it true

does he want you?

Hide shy smiles

eyes bright with laughter

warmth arising

arms pulling you close

if this is a dream

please do not let it end.

Awakening

alone once more

figment of your imagination

a tale woven

to keep the darkness at bay.

Plod through each day

grey

unappealing

alone

heartache ever constant

is there no cure?

Drizzling rain

stand

getting soaked through

tears cannot be seen

mixed with the pouring from the sky.

Love songs on repeat

endless declarations

places to be

places to go

places to meet your lover at will.

Silence lingers long on the tongue

whispers heard 

made to come undone

wrapped within scarlet ribbons

loveless

lifeless

alone……
