Hark ! In the distance, a begrudging sneer,
A prying eye spies my falling tear,
Crashing on the page, this verse to smear,
If only they knew my plight !

In this wretched space so lost and alone,
Soft heart transformend to hardened stone,
A seeping wound much deeper than bone,
Draining my will to fight !

My head bent low with dolor profound,
Scolding tears to stain the ground,
Nature my second love, gathers around,
I could kiss a tree this night !

For now, love's future destitute,
Sympathetic gestures I will refute,
Thoughts of her, this pain dilute,
Pitch darkness with a sprinkle of bright !

Just take me away to a tearful place,
'Neath a willow to share her weeping space,
Whose drooping limbs will me encase,
And hide my grief from sight !

A loveless mess, I fall distraught,
No lesson learned, yet harshly taught,
For her I'd once again get caught,
I hold not grudge nor spite !

I know I'll quell this relentless pain,
Self pity to hold no earthly gain,
My self belief I pray regain,
God please ! Send me some respite !
