Piercing hope, Bleeding hearts, Sagging rope, Troubled mind. Shrivelled roses, Bare meadow Cluttered lane, Wearisome journey. Fleeting daylight, Tunnelling midnight, Feeble bridges, Recalcitrant doors. Unable hands, Restrained fatherly role, Ambivalent tomorrows, Tumultuous relationships. Misconstruing minds, Weeping hearts, Overcast days, Unrelenting pursuit. First published in Poetry Potion
