Subject: Worn Out by Elizabeth Siddal

I thought I would share my favourite poem with you as this is the way I feel just now.

R


Worn Out

Thy strong arms are around me love,
My head is on thy breast;
Though words of comfort come from thee,
My soul is not at rest:

For I am but a startled thing,
Nor can I ever be
Aught save a bird whose broken wing
Must fly away from thee.

I cannot give to thee the love
I gave so long ago –
The love that turned and struck me down
amid the blinding snow.

I can but give a sinking heart
And wear eyes of pain,
A faded mouth that cannot smile
And may not laugh again.

Yet keep thine arms around me, love,
Until I drop to sleep:
Then leave me – saying no good-bye,
Lest I might fall and weep.

Elizabeth Siddal
