Echoes

By: LeAnn Puglisi

Honey, I know what is missing. A lightning bolt struck today
You left your heart back somewhere so love can't get in the way
It seems it's strictly business; some longing mixed with passion
And taken what you wanted since love was not your intention

A cavern in my soul still echoes with longing unfulfilled
The thought of you and I causes a quickening in me still
But coldness keeps on creeping in and around my broken heart
As the darkness of this truth brings reality with a start

Such pain will soon ease though not fast enough to soothe
‘SOft tender to the touch as the fading of a bruise
Slowly moving on through time without you now I must
I strive to love more deeply so my heart ne'er turns to dust.
