Love's Promise
The faint whisper of love's promise
echos within her hollow heart.
Suffering, she stifles silent screams,
finding herself scared and alone.
She listens to the wind, to hear
the faint whisper of love's promise.
But the wind won't speak of such things,
and a tear trickles down her cheek.
Her heart was emptied of all hope
when love simply abandoned her.
The faint whisper of love's promise
grew mute, the day he walked away.
She cries, for despite her longing,
she can only hear the wind.
And yet, she so much wants to hear
the faint whisper of love's promise.
