Loneliness!

Burns within me the fire of Loneliness
Billowing through my battered soul
Burning down my riddled heart
Burying my dreams in heaps of ash!

Fuelled by my flowing tears
Shed unknown to the outside world
Rages within me this fire of Loneliness
Tainting your memories in somber hues!

Parched lips have forgotten the kisses
Palms now clasp only the passing winds
Heart still misses the comforting cuddle
My shirts have also lost your smell!

Springtime evenings’ gentle breeze
Struggled once to sneak between us!
Years have now passed with ease
Since that final, tearful gaze!

Memories of those lovely days
Wilt away like the roses we shared!
Your absence stays taut as thorns
Pricking me every day and night!
