Adieu, I hear her whispering
A bitter sigh upon her lips
Her body’s ache is audible
Her pain shimmers before my eyes
Her face is blank with resistance
Yet I see her grim turmoil as
It wreaks havoc – beneath her brow
Lurks her mind’s unrelenting ghost
I want to touch her, and to kiss
Away those fears, that lonely haze
But her voice is cold: she retreats
Further still behind gloomy walls
The fiercer that my siege becomes
As I attempt to rescue her
The stronger her stony visage
Repels me from her secret heart
Until I’m the one who does sigh
As I fall, spent from my failure
The battle is lost, the end nigh
And to you, I lament – Adieu

There are just so many moments it applies to.
You’ve brilliantly captured the emotion in such simple yet complex thoughts.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad to have captured the sentiment! 🙂
