Where does my heart find rest?

Where does my heart find rest?

My aching heart echoes with emptiness
My broken body motionless
My flesh feeling and sensing
Longing to be touched

The loneliness gnaws at my inside like an aching tooth
Like waves against the shore
It crashes into my conscious mind
It subsidies only to return

I long to end the loneliness to be with someone
I can't do it
I can't expect anyone to share this life
To be a part of this endless struggle

So I know that I am trapped
I am caught in a loop
A repeating cycle
Longing and hoping but fading and failing

Hope, like a lifebuoy
It floats out reach
It shimmers with expectation
But fades away and drifts out of reach.
