Sigh, Oh sigh my heart torn within
you left, and I feel this sadness brewing mad
it’s hard, so hard without my locked mind
the strength I had, has now gone tired

though I try, oh I try
for me, it’s easier to cry, now I cry
as the words of my past self, sing a new reprise
echoing silently towards my ride

I want to hold, you as I try
to seek your love, and it’s comforting embrace
true feelings I had, and now they hurt
I look for signs, lost inside

wanting to savor, your touch on my skin
aching to feel your fingertips
grazing through my hair, you caress
with love, and measure of affection — pride

tears flow, readily for you
I want you here, as I hide
from the pain that breathes another cry
I need the love, that I once gave — without a price

Thank you so much for reading.

ILLUMINATION

It’s never black or white. Sometimes there’s a bit of spicy red in there as well.
