Heart of Anquish (C) 2007
I cried myself to sleep last night,
As I wrestle against my demons.
A tortured heart seems my eternal plight,
To find the love I've needed.
Too long I have poured myself out for nothing in return.
Tears too many to number have fallen to the earth.
Hurts so deep that they haunt my steps begging me to turn
To protect my heart, but still I yearn.
I look this way and that trying to find the path,
That's free from guilt, pain, and wrath.
I seek a love that's tried and true,
Filled with trust that strengthens two.
Burdened with worries and so much strife.
How can I continue to be a wife?
A broken spirit can't continue in this life
As an empty vessel tossed aside.
Right or wrong, left or right,
Too many choices to make in just one night.
As I wipe my silent tears away laying my head upon my pillow,
I'm sure I'll continue to weep forever, just like the willow.

| very nice. although the theme of the search for love may be an overused one, as is the powerful, if clichéd imagery of the crying yourself to sleep, but all in all, well put together and well styled; the theme made, perhaps, not overused, but common, that we can all relate to. well done. |

| Glenda, I have a bit of trouble following the passive/active tense structure in this, but overall I'd agree, nicely done. I love the last line, have felt that last line, recently! |
