A Heart Unfulfilled

when the day is long and the night haunts me and I’m here alone not where I want to be the dreams that come remind me you are gone clutching your pillow as the nightmare wears on the sun creeps in and I wake distressed unhappy with the morning that leaves me repressed drink the acrid coffee bitter and hot start another day with a dark, blind spot the day drags on hours feel like years since you left I remain austere going through the motion moving as life stands still regrets and remorse a heart unfulfilled
