Longing for Love

by

Emma - Louise Braiden

Curled up by the window
she sits in waiting
Eyes downcast
Thoughts elsewhere
Will she ever love
Can she ever love
Should she ever love him...

His body moves silently
He sits close beside her
Places an arm around her waist
Kisses her softly
Will she ever accept
Can she ever accept
Should she ever accept him...

Darkened by her confusion
And the clouded nights sky
She rests her head
On his inviting shoulder
Will she ever explain
Can she ever explain
Should she ever explain to him...

Her eyes grow heavy
Exhaustion takes controll
Her body drops to the foor
She wishes to dream
Will she ever believe
Can she ever believe
Should she ever believe in him...

He lays beside her
Places delicate kisses
On her cheek
She does not stir
Not until the first rays
Of golden morning light
Creep into her room
Dancing over her drowsy face
Not until then does she wake

She finds her bed
Her walls
Her belongings
All the same
As they were when she left them

One night of longing
A night of hopefull dreams
In life she has love
From another
So openly provided
Yet she is unable to love
Unable to accept
Unable to explain
Unable to believe
What does that leave her with?

Nothing
But her dreams

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Beauty goes with her
