This applies to women as well as men. I loved the last verse, sounds hopeful. Well done.

I liked reading this... as yes, it does apply to both men and women :) The search for true love (sigh)! :)) Brilliantly expressed. Well done!

The pain of a longing heart is a pain that has been felt by many a poet with a simliar view. The tears that get shed in search of love are those that burn the soul but the pain they leave is like a blanket welcomed in winter. The comfort of its warmth will sooner or later calm the spirit which will leave the door open for love to enter. bravo for the words you found to fill this work.
