The Weight of Neglect

These days even breathing
has become agony!
When last did peace touch my heart...
I cannot recall,
when last I saw you...
memory fails me.

These days I remain awake always;
even with eyes closed—
not a trace of sleep comes,
the restlessness won't break;
I only think, you do not seek me out.

This life filled with mistakes
will one day come to a halt,
the moment when you will simply—
love me.
