I Hear My Heart Call

My lonely voice pierces the silent night No one will hear me in the saddest dark Stars aloft hold no comfort or delight They shine not for me on their journey's arc The face I see fades in the tear-stained sky I call out for only one more minute Still, I question all the reasons for why My world is lifeless without you in it In my loneliness, I reach out in vain Find nothing but two hands trembling still And grasp only the hollow dark of pain This emptiness found I will never fill I hear my heart call in the silent night I watch love's world scatter beyond the light 8/9/19 writing challenge 1, August 2019 Just Write sponsor, Dear Heart
