A Lonely Heart

@Uootem

Re-living the words and promises
spoken with the passion of another time
i am drowning in the inundation
of never to be healed emptiness...
my heart so easily broken, devastated
so difficult to control emotions in the ruins
shattered images scattered with the wind of change.

After all, the time we together shared
are the most sustaining experiences of my youth,
though they now exist with only vague memories.
i sometimes laugh... sometimes smile
... me living a prevarication of contentment
while deep within my soul my heart is shouting to find relief
for even in this crowded world my heart is lonely still.
