A Lonely Morning

    When lovers do depart
    A day, an hour, five minutes past
    Time makes no difference to our hearts.
    What do we do
    To numb the pain?
    We wait and yearn for their return
    Or try to fill the emptiness.
    Some fill the void, yet some do wait
    Of those who fill, some crave the flesh
    Yet others with to calm the mind.
    But nothing can replace
    The loss, if only for a day,
    Of that love gone away.
