Wondering Why

Poem Written For a Character In My Novel

Wondering Why

Piercing day to day existence
Despite determined resistance
Wounded to the depths, my ragged soul
So lost without you, out of control

Was it all just a moment's game?
Nothing true, nothing quite the same
In my dreams you rush to me once more
No anger, desperately love adored

Ocean scenery, change of plan
Stubborn anger, hurried command
Lighthouse beckons heart to try anon
Don't tempt me with your traitorous song!
