Longing <br /> <br />I have a longing deep within my heart <br />To forget you as I have known <br />To leave behind all remembrance and feeling <br />Then know my love will always be alone <br /> <br />For it is love that to which I speak <br />For being out of love having once known <br />Is not unlike having a beating heart <br />To warm my blood yet have it moan <br /> <br />And life, what is life without love? <br />To be without one is to be with out the other <br />Where there was once a heart in me <br />Has been replaced by emptiness, no order <br /> <br />An emptiness that fills my every day and night <br />This emptiness eats away at my very soul <br />A soul tormented by some demon from hell <br />Losing you was like a stocking filled with coal <br /> <br />Jim 1961<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/longing-121/
