Feeling Down And Out
Quietly minutes grew into hours, time choose not to wait, Leaving behind emptiness, a longing for you, my mate. Though we had been together, memories proved not enough. I hungered for satisfaction where two as one could love. I tried to ignore desires with each second that passed me by. I could not erase the hurt that dwelled so deep inside. Of this painful feeling; I wondered if you knew. I continued to wait in darkness while my heart ached for you.
