I rub my bleary eyes
pressing my palms tight
against them in hopes
to stem the flow of tears
My heart aches with longing
for a comforting word
from that beautiful mouth
that I know will never come
I yearn for the sentiments
of an understanding love
arms of compassion surrounding
my badly beaten and scarred heart
I give up, there's none
no brush of lips
on my aching brow
no encouraging me to let go
If only you would say
"I forgive you, love."
the tears would cease
to fall like a broken main
