A Heart's Quest For Restitution

A sick, bleeding heart Sings a song of loneliness It lives for true love And is searching everywhere For the one who will mend it A sore, vengeful heart Longs for a moment of peace The heart is maddened And is straining to repair It's cold, endless suffering Dawn Kilby Copyright ©2008 Dawn Kilby

this was inspired from a photo that a friend posted on gather.com. that's where all my poems are :P she mentioned this site to me :P thanx sharon for your comment. this poem speaks from expieriences i have had with love and loneliness. but i wrote it to have others relate to it as well. it is the truth from my youth, but i have also had friends that have felt this way at one time or another.

It is only a natural thing for the heart to do. Somewhere in time, the gifts of the heart will be yours once more. Can feel your pain and loneliness in this well expressed write. Hope this is more imagination than truth. Well done. Love, Shar
