A Truth

Wide awake in the dead of night,
I wait,
I wait knowing nothing awaits me,
Nothing.

With eyes wide open I stare,
Into the night,
Into the dark emptiness,
Much like my heart.

How I wish and hope,
Yearn for a touch,
A caress,
A soft breath of warmth by me.

How I wish and pray,
For the day that will never be,
Though I know,
I cannot stop.

I will not stop,
All my life yet before me,
All alone,
Always yearning.
