Tale of a Broken Heart

He silently laid there
Watching and waiting
The night sky and the stars
Whispered in His ears
All the secrets life tried to hide
And He hoped and He prayed

And as He stood there,
The wind blowing on His back
Pushing Him near the edge,
He saw Her passing
The one His heart craved for
And then, She was gone

Pain and sorrow raveged His heart
Because She walked by
As if He was a ghost
Doomed to love Her and all Her beauty
And the memory of Her face
Consumed Him until there was nothing left

And the whispers came back
As the wind kept howling
And the stars called Him
All He needed was some comfort, some peace
And the night welcomed Him in its darkness
And He was gone before daylight
