Longing For Love (Double Tetractys)

by xoxShorteexox   Sep 5, 2011


Love
for you
your heart
you're confusing me
I am in love with a man who cares not

I am an independent woman
who loves you so
much; it hurts
deep inside
me

    Thank you, TJ. That was the first time I've ever done that one. I have to find new ways to challenge myself when it comes to my writing ability. I'm trying to come up with new ideas for my poems and ways to help my muse return to me. I appreciate that comment and compliment. ^^
