A Darker Shade of Need

...those dark spaces between....

A darker shade of need,

A sadder state of mind,

A voyage with no destination,

Love and hate entwined.

 

A lonely state of bliss,

An echo left unheard,

An understanding soon forgotten,

The kind of death preferred.

 

The ache of empty arms

As he turns away to leave,

But you will mask the pain you feel

In secret, you will grieve.

 

A game of solitaire

Where the ace of hearts will bleed,

But the urge to cheat is in every hand,

….It's a darker shade of need.
