Hearts Apart
Exhausted now, she lays her head
Upon the pillow soft and white
To close her eyes, where tears were shed
While whisp’ring soft, “My love, goodnight”
Her heart, it pined, it ached despite
The words he said, when last they spoke
For more than words, her need this night
To feel his love; on passion, choke
For naught, her pillow drenched with tears
As distance wedges lover’s bliss
This way, too long, too many years
She wants him here, to place a kiss
Will distant love one day prevail
Or, will their love so destined, fail?
