A Weary Heart

Author Dana Redricks October 17, 2023 In the depths of solitude, I often ponder, am I worthy of love, or destined to wander? Rejected and wounded, never truly embraced, lost in a sea of tears, consumed by fears unlaced. Do any souls comprehend this ache within me? The longing to be loved, accepted, set free? Yearning for solace, for a gentle touch, to erase the scars of rejection, to heal so much. In the realm of darkness, my heart does weep, but within this pain, a secret I keep. For there lies a spark, a flicker of light, a belief that someday, things will be set right. I seek understanding, a compassionate ear, someone to hold me close, to draw near. To see beyond the surface, into my soul, embracing my flaws, making me whole. Oh, to be loved, cherished, without condition, to banish this feeling of constant inhibition. For in love's sweet embrace, I yearn to dwell, to rise above this ocean, where loneliness fell. So, I'll search and I'll hope, and I'll never cease, for a love that will grant my weary heart peace. And until that day comes, I'll hold on tight, believing that love shall conquer the darkest night.
