The Unblessed Lover [2007] Poem by Catherine Beahl

Please…
Hear my plea.
I stand here
In some lonely streets

On a cold winter’s night.
Waiting…
Waiting for someone-
Who I doubt

Will come
And free me…
Free me
From my shadowy prison.

Bless me…
One more time;
Like you did
Long ago-

On that warm
And romantic,
Summer’s night.
Dreamy flashbacks…

Haunting nightmares…
Screeching calls of your name…
Faint memories…
They stay with me forever.

Bless me…
Hold me tight…
Let me touch you again…
Please…

Don’t let me suffer...
Don’t let me wait...
Hear my plea....
Come and rescue me.
