BETWEEN LONGING AND HATE

BETWEEN LONGING AND HATE

Longing surges in my heart
But often my ego drives me away
Is the sky still as blue?
Maybe it's also covered in gray clouds?

You who trigger sadness
In the sad drizzle
Your shadow still lingers
In the recesses of my heart

I can only smile in silent verses
Deliberately stringing together diction
To soothe the cries of a heart
Wounded by promises
