Heart Posers

how do things change?
how do they ever remain?
when is it too long to wait?
and when should the waiting go on?
i remember your touch
so long ago
melting my soul
and touching my heart
the emptiness without you
burns both bright and dim.
longing to be filled by you
yet willing, almost, to be filled
by another.
the cross roads stand before me
i cannot see which way to go.
my heart is crying for thee
my feet say time to go.
where do the answers lie?
where do i find what i seek?
who shall hold my heart in love?
and who shall find me weak?
