Unspoken thoughts betray...
Questions plague the mind...
Reluctant breaths are drawn...
Their purpose is to punish...
Seething doubts fester within...
The chasm widens even more...
Traitor heartbeats sound...
Private pain intensifies...
Souls weep unashamedly...
The wellspring deepens further...
Hope languishes in the void...
Inner light dwindles into dark...
Foreshadowed by the past...
The morrow beckons gray...
Fragmented spirit lies broken...
Irrevocably wounded ...
Destined to die...
Another casualty of love...

	somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile, so when you are lonely remember it's true; somebody, somewhere is thinking of you!

	from childhood's hour I have not been as others were-I have not seen as others saw-I could not bring my passions from a common spring from the same sourse I have not taken my sorrow: I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone and all I loved I loved alone.
