A desperate heart’s words
Abandoned and floating

Like falling leaves delicately embraced
And suddenly carried away
On a warm summer breeze

Whirling and drifting
With confusing excitement
Torturous expectations
And blissful discourse

Playfully escaping their meaningless desires
And emotional emptiness

Enjoying the turbulent caress of the breeze
But not wanting to believe
Its promise of warmth and commitment

For these words were only to be spoken
And never heard
