Traitorous Heart

Wide awake in the silent dark When I’m all curled in a corner I hear an incessant pounding Is this the sound of a traitorous heart? Or footsteps pacing outside my door? Regrets try to creep out from under Barren tears in eyes wide open You’ll always remember and can I ever forget? Those uncertain hours before the light of dawn When it would be in your gaze, I become whole! 13.4.22 Contest: SOUL BETRAYAL Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker
