Desperate
With desperate arms
She reaches for him
As he walks away
Her tear stained face
Reveals her thoughts
Memories of yesterday
With desperate ears
She listens for
A hint of who he was
But the voice she hears
That comes from him
Is not the one she loves
With desperate lips
She cries his name
Longing for his touch
A single look
Is all she hopes
But hardly gets as much
With desperate eyes
She watches for
A glimmer of recognition
But the emptiness
She sees in them
Keeps her on her mission
With desperate heart
She remains hopeful
That one day this will end
She'll save him from
The darkness that
He has fallen in
