Solitude, safe and comforting
Only myself to care for, to answer to
Mind clear of fret and fear
Actions only catering to one

Too long secure, resolve weakens
Soft words with warm intent
Dreams woken from long slumber
Long missed presence of another

Desires for a life not lived
Memories to be created and savored
Feeling a need not yet known
Welcoming another’s warmth

Changes occur beyond control
A heart too full for being long empty
Starts to tremble at the thought of loss
Tormented soul screams as it begins to break
