The Longing

Loneliness echoes through this cavernous space

One thought of you & I’m in the longings cold embrace

How I long to look upon your face with eyes that burn holes through my soul

Oh how the longing has taken it’s toll

Always craving what I cannot have -the longing

To hear your voice sweetly whisper is what I need - the longing

To touch you just once is what I crave but you just turn & walk away - the longing

But sweet relief I know will come when this heart ceases to beat & my work is done

This lonely soul is finally carried home and the longing will be no more
