Love's Labour Lost

The heart's been wringed dry.
It numbs, then thaws to hurt.

My giving falls on unopened palms,
Then breaks and scatters to sea.

I have no destiny: I tread alone.
You embrace me without arms,
Yet, fill my very soul.

My best will never be my best
For love's labour is lost.
Yet love, foolishly, lives on.
