______________________________________________________________________________
Nothing came of it.
All those — All those — yearnings, heartfelt longings,
Those torrents of tears, searing pain, heartache.
Finding no peace in my mind,
Nor could I seize my heart’s deepest desire.
I loved, found love in return, and
I keep on loving — yet remain empty (and searching).
Zeenat Khan writes from Maryland, USA
