"That Endless Longing"

Ripped off that lustrous gleam
For I'm a wrecked dream


Never strive to assuage me
For I'm a room of scorned destiny


Words were never so gruff
For I'm lost in that heavy puff


Was the torrent so big?
For I'd been such a nimble jig


Memories grew into a memento
For I am lessened to this ghetto


Longing for that doting squeeze
For I've faded in this placid breeze


Past is wailing behind that line
For I have become so sanguine

Woes are soon going to flee
For I will again be me  :)
