You make my heart bleed
With piercing heartaches
Which seem like arrows
Darting at my soul
While my spirit yearns
for comfort
There is none to be found
My bosom lays barren
Without your love
As though my life has fallen
Beneath dark eyes
Of emptiness
While an unbearable doom
Sits upon my shoulders
In my fondest of dreams
I envision our lives
Between caresses. Just like a dove
Who found his love
Wandering aimlessly
Waiting for passion
Tearful expressions
Make their way
Into the vast arena
Of loneliness
Pushing aside fears
Which have discomfort
As I wait for your return
