Forlorn

To suffer from the heart’s demise, forlorn.
the truth sheds light on layers of lies, forlorn.  

I listen each day for the sparrow’s song,
yet winter brings the raven’s cries, forlorn.

Lord nigh, I seek hope only you can bring.
Distant smiles disclose my own disguise, forlorn. 

My angel descends unto the early hours. 
Upon her silken gowns, I close my eyes, forlorn.

When oh when will I trust to love again? 
To think I became all I despise, forlorn.
