Seclusion
Water always flows downhill
just as the sun has always risen
in the east only to set in the west
Hearts cry out loud only to be
answered by an echo.
A lady sits alone secluded in her
room tormented by the heartbreaks
of her past in secret she wishes to
be compensated for all the days
she lived in darkness.
Questions freely roam her mind
yet fear prevents her from seeking
answers. Only she knows what came
from multiple heartbreaks and countless
tears that ran from her face.
Never again will she fall, never again
will she trust or allow herself to be
completely consumed by hope. Hope
for the softest touch, the most beloved
kiss along with a virtuous heart.
she wonders will it ever come as
loneliness hovers at her feet.
Prolonging her desperation envying
those who found theirs first. She listens
to the words of those around her.
Who tell her to forget her heart and
enrich her mind being reminded that
there is always time. Yet her heart
will not be ignored nor silenced it knows
that one day her fear will succumb to love.
