Seeking Solace
SEEKING SOLACE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
Like a mortally wounded animal he retreats to his lair
Seeking, warmth and comfort, but alas, no one is there
The hurt so unbearable , oh god, send someone to share
He finds himself inconsolable, wallowing in utter despair
He needs to treat his wound, but alas, no one is there
The wound is so deep and aching its too much to bear
He struggles passionately needing someone to care
He is alone, isolated with agonies continuing to flare
Is there no end to this anguish he suffers, sanity beware
He can not carry this burden alone, but no one is there
Her absence is the wound, he had no time to prepare
Time had stolen her, he still searches, no, she is not there
