Broken
her heart folds into tether
bound by lowly winds
of loneliness
succumb
to dreamless sleep

the emptiness
of unrequited love

In loneliness
the walls speak
in foreign tongues
echo loudly
of places she no longer
calls home

uneasy dreams
places absent love

Her eyes
drawn near to light
touch palms with the sky
cherish hope in the stars
that bleed above
night visions of love

a world where one
feels less abandoned

Content
she embraces the ******
of the storm
listens as the rain falls
tenderly and tirelessly
dissolving all that's wrong

drowning out the melancholy
*silence of alone
