My Life In Word

SOUL YEARNING

If love doesn’t hurt
Then what is
This ache in my heart
If it doesn't ease soon
I fear my heart
May depart
From within my chest
Grow feet and run
To the edge
Of the earth
Where the sidewalk ends
And there is no dearth
Of love or kindness
When will this
Soul yearning cease
When will this
Numbing pain decrease
I pray it be soon
Before this bleeding heart
Finds its feet
And does depart
