I dig
deep within my soul
sharing the
lost desires of
what once
was.
Released
from the hold
she had
on me.
Yet
aching to be held
once
again in her loving
arms.
Soulful
sounds drift through
my
clinched fingers as I play
the ballad
you loved so.
I despair
in gazing above
my hat to
glimpse the sight
of you in
the crowd.
Will I
survive this glimpse?
Better to
dig deeper and
forego the
glimpse and
remember what
was, but
is now
gone.
