Missing a true embrace
A tender touch and full of grace
Hurt and betrayed, twisted up inside
Still full of love longing to feel untied
Not a single soul knows you well or what you’ve been through
Emotions like swirling storm clouds, so turbulent too
Fear has moved in where trust should be
Wishing things were different in a world of possibility
Praying thoughts in mind be peaceful and gentle
Yearning for moments of beauty, harmony, something transcendental
Bittersweet memories replaying incessantly
Dreading each day that goes by quiescently
Was any of it true, or just a game
Lies, secrets, pent-up anger, and blame
Acknowledging now intuition and vibes never lie
Hard-learned lessons meant to apply
