OF LIVING AND LOVING... AND COPING...: Longing For You

10 February 2011

Longing For You

as dawn breaks i lay

awake... cold and shivering

my soul yearns for you

searing pain grips my

heart... how much longer before

i see you again

love rush back to me

lest this forlorn existence
shall forever stay
