ELUDEING LOVE

Silent screams and whispers of lost love.
Slumped shoulders,reddened,downcast eyes.
Shuffling footsteps,counted among the cost.
Wasted years,thrown out to the wind cries.

Whilom,why does lasting love elude me?
I cry out in passionate pleads of despair.
Hope springs eternal,spirit grieving is free.
Come forth into battle,confidence ready for repair.

Looking,searching deeply inside my very own soul.
Finding inside me what I thought I had lost.
Lasting love has always been there under my control.
To be shared and be protected with great cost.
