Abandoned
You sighed... ... but none heard. You were angry, Met only with stares from innocent minds. ... Then you cried In the mystique of the night, Muffled sobs escaping to the horizon. You longed for the company of a muscled arm, More than sympathy from tale bearers....

When visions of deferred...
