Hidden Key

You know you hurt me
These tears flood the pain
My mind battles a raging sea
My heart, scared to love again
and still I hope in vain
for a love sweet and strong
to right the bitter wrong.

I look in the mirror
and see your smile once more
I whisper, "Come nearer"
you vanished like before
leaving my heart bruised and sore
My heart longs to be free
Is death the hidden key?

Oh Alesia, the pain flows and floods the page with the melancholy ink you spill. The bitter beauty of your poetic lines is so moving and poignant. A deep heart-rending write full of genuinely woeful emotion, my friend.. Warmest wishes to you. ~Susan
