Without Her
I've a broken
part deep where my dreams still sleep
Hearkening
to keen visions I'll always keep
~ ~ ~
Where have
you gone little daughter so dear
Such a
void where you nestled against my heart here
~ ~ ~
A huge
hollow hangs where our love was entwined
In this
kingdom of loneliness inside my mind
~ ~ ~
I dare
not to love any child e'er again
For I am
without, and I've naught left but pain
~ ~ ~
The chasm
resounds yet against that day
I still
see your eyes when you went away
~ ~ ~
Those broken
bewildered blue pools of tears
And my
vision will haunt me through all my years
