I want to love again.
I want to fall asleep hoping to dream about love
I want to look forward to the next encounter
I want to deliver a sonnet glittered with my heart
I want to jitter at the thought of love’s face
I want to be the reason for the smile
I want to lift my voice and yell “I love you” 

But I can’t

So I will be in silence
My expressionless face will carry my day
I’ll shiver at the cold wind blowing through my chest
No pen will I ever pick up to paint my mind
For I have nothing to look forward to 
I will dream not of love but of emptiness
I want to love again

Writing sad poem is so much more fun!
