Her Aching Heart

It's not the first time 
  her heart is breaking 
    She swallows tears as
      her heart is aching 

    Who'll explain the ache
      her heart is facing?
        Every time she hopes 
          her heart is racing 

        For that one true love 
          her heart is waiting 
            When will he be found?
               Her heart's debating 

            Through dark wrenching ache
              her heart is wading 
                Will that love come soon?
                  Her heart's evading 

                Agonised, she cries 
                  her heart is stinging 
                    To harrowing hope 
                      her heart is clinging

L Milton Hankins April 24, 2021 at 10:27 AM Interesting lay-out, Jo. I'm still wondering what it was supposed to portray--tears? Well-constructed. Enjoyable read.
