Love Poem: Eyes Closed

Eyes Closed

I long for a pure, soft goddess to
	rescue me from my misery,
But I only find loneliness’ comfort.
Shadowy images of Joy haunt my dreams
	But I can’t seem to grasp them somehow.
Surely there must be some redemption but
	I remain tortured by what I can’t have.

When I die and it’s true that I’ll suffer
	eternal torment for all the wrong I’ve done,
Then why must I suffer here for helping those I love?
