A Shadow

A shadow falls upon my heart; a melody that sings of pain. A love that reaches out in at- yet finds no matching refrain. The colors swirl with endless flight, my canvas filled with hues of gray. a heart that longs for love's delight, but can only find a a lonely plight. The wind whispers of what could've been, a hope that flickers until the end. a heart that longs to be set free Though exiled alone is the decree. Unrequited love: a bitter sweet- a song that plays on endless repeat. a heart that longs for love's embrace, though only find a dream that's displaced.
