I thought time healed most wounds,
Yet my blood is red and pouring still.
My heart is being forced with staples,
To keep the smile I'm known for.
I'd wish for any scenario,
That involves our eyes locking.
Whether loving, suffering, burning or screaming,
I just want to see your face.
I'd wish you said no,
Then I could suffer easier.
Instead I'm left with tears
And consequences of our love.

As I look in the mirror, I'm now but a shadow of my prime,
Years have caught up, on body and heart's rhyme,
Memories of yesteryears, forever etched on my mind,
Alone, forgotten, love's painful grind.
Remembrance of children's laughter—an echoing chill,
Laughter that once belonged to my own, my heart's deep thrill,
Sadness creeps in, like autumn's fading light,
A quiet resignation to life's fleeting dance tonight.
A wishful prayer I chant—for my children to come over,
To bridge the gap of years and relive love's gentle cover,
In their loving arms, I'll find my peaceful nest,
And within their love—my heart takes its final rest.
