Stray

An avidity to trust, a seconds wayward lust

A hope in all thats pure, a hope but never sure

Loyal 'til it hurts, only knowing eyes stay shut

Surely this is where the ruins lie

In tears one tries but tears soon die.

 

A wandering heart clings tight to the past

And memories help but their hold slips fast

Once binding ties, now farthest cries

Silence saves the need to lie

Days drift by, and by and by.

This was great, but "lie, cry, and die" are kind of cliche rhymes.

Absolutely one of the best (short) poems i have read in a long time!!! I really didnt want it to end, but its perfect in it size. Very good vocabulary too.
