Touched
By Eileen Ramage ©1996

 

These feelings that erupt in me,

I wonder why they do not cease.

My only wish is to be free.

What does it take for pain to ease?

 

A moment shared and then it is gone.

Was the loss really so great?

What could have touched my soul this way?

To leave me in this splintered state.

 

I know it is just a state of mind;

The soul cannot be but whole.

Yet this does not help complete

The deep void within my soul.

 

Maybe time will fade this state,

Once more to leave me free,

To share the joy I have within

With kindred spirits just like me.
