Yearning

My soul yearns for yours

All I can do is cry

It hurts so much

We could not say goodbye

And now all I feel is empty space

Filled with echoes

Opening up in this silence

As surrendered desire disappears

Without a trace

Dissolving into an abyss of yearning

Steeped with the soul’s

Unrequited love and longing

 

And yet my soul cries

Not all is lost

For is not, this yearning

Bittersweet

And although every dream of mine

Has turned to dust

And I find myself all alone in these ashes

I must not forget

There is a spirit here

Well equipped to mine these depths

Distilling memories sharp with the stings

Of loves lost hope and yearning

And a host of abandonment fears

That see me alone and grieving

Shedding

Sorrowing and transforming

And in the vacant space

Creating

A place of healing
