I see what was and long to
Lavish in its light.
Holding my heart bare and
Naked at your mercy.
Beckoning from shadows.
My pleading falls upon deaf
Ears.
Still, all that is within me
Hopes for hope.
What I've come to know wraps
Me with fear.
Cries echo on in discontent.
What was, what is and what
Will be.
Falling down in disbelief.
Efforts all compelled in vain.
What more could mock my love?
My heart?
My pain?
