Forlorn

by Ravinder Malhotra

Wearily I close my eyes

But where does vanish sleep

The youth of night is long past

And I in memories seek

A hand, your hand to hold me fast

To lead me through the years

The years of wait and agony

Of pain, despair and tears

Stretching out my arms I touch
But what I seek is gone
Gone, lost in endless time

My hopes, leaving me forlorn
