Sick Heart

My heart is crying
Yearnings of the heart
An ache only Love can heal
I search for true Love
It’s elusive
The one I truly Love
I can’t have
Will I Love just for Love sake
My heart pounds out of fear
The fear of the unknown
Society is my enemy
What they will say has snatched my Love
Who will help me?
What do I do?
It’s an emotional eclipse
I am betwixt Love
My heart is hungry
I fear am not in control
My heart needs rest
Love tarry no more
My heart has gone to bed
Asleep but not dead
This day I pray will pass
