At Odds With You

Grey sky, and hot breeze

that melts my icy heart

Trickery says your absence goes unfelt

But the act is failed

Tears rolling are not from laughter

The void remains unfilled and bothersome

Ache renews as day,

synchronized to the waning of heart beats

I lose grip of courage not to long for you

But fall into the ditch of long nights of yearning

Dreaming of wishes at odds with my reality

'Apology tendered would reconciliation meet

A text sent could a response receive'

Yet, abominable is the risk

If with neglect I be greeted

A chance, of course, I could a considerate heart give

But once my heart I gave,

And a lesson, deeply I did learn

Not again to give by a batter

Or my trade a ruin will be made

Hence, resigned I am to the shackles of tolerance,

And patience, as I wait and watch

For the aches to elude me,

If by God they do!
