Love Poem: Wounded Without

Wounded Without

Balance escapes malcontent minds
  withered in worry, gazed through the blinds
Disconnected with the world outside
  
   Yearn for release, all peace ceases
Guarded, distrustful, suspected malfeasance
  Weary of those heart guarded treasons
People's intentions change like the seasons
     
  Now suspicious always...in all ways 
My mind narrows down like hallways
  Carefully weighing the words that they're saying
Watchful of wolves as they creep in their preying
  Unworthy of praying, the shepherd's off playing
     unguarded sheep... ripe for the sleighing

Forever wanting of tender loving
 Feeling undeserving,
                  a dark cloud above me
A wounded creature, cornered and lonely
  licking wounds, longing for her to console me
        I lay here empty............................
