A prayer for solace

This week I refrained from emailing you  

I realized/ I am realizing how I felt  

You consumed my mind, my heart, my soul  

At all times of the day & night  

You were my first thought in the morning  

My last thought at night  

I was praying for this mental distance to help me forget

I was praying for this emotional distance to clear my head

 

To no avail; my emotions run deeper

My soul rises higher  

In addition; I miss you like the flower misses the sun

During the thunderstorm of life

 

God, I beg you for solace

I pray that time ends my personal affliction  

Of my own making  

Due to the fact that I remain uncommunicative

To my love regarding my genuine amorous emotions
