Longing

Longing... Each night as I lay down in bed in the still darkness engulfing me, listening to snippets of conversations, I feel the soft whispers of love entering my empty dreams. A tear drop forces its way out, right down my cold cheeks, followed by another, then another... I'm unable to brush the burning yearning away... 12/01/17
