Chained

Published by

on

The night broke into pieces

with your saddest goodbye;

now my soul is lingering in deep diseases,

as I believed you were an ally

and would battle for my love

without hanging up one glove.

Abandoned standing here

with nothing but a laughing tear

surprised that I can bear

this fevered illness

living on like a prayer

yet chained forever to sickness.

    Beautifully written. The pain of loss, disappointment, and lingering hope comes through in every line.
