for the trap that love had lain
So suffer, suffer till its doom,
Darling, wilted flowers never bloom.

Loneliness clawed at me then just as it gnaws at me today. Only, perhaps the blow has dampened over time. It awes me how I travelled thousands of miles to a whole different country to experience loneliness all over again-layered and intense. My heart always restless with the feeling of losing eve...
