And I feel your presence
But in my heart I feel empty and alone
Tears pour from my being
Blackening my heart
Darkening my soul
Never one..only in spirit
Lips tightening to grim
Face drooping to despair
Life slowing to an end
Breath failing into the shallows
I cry to find you
Yet, I know you are there
Not like I want
Nor what I feel I need
An empty shell
Only you can fill it
Wishing you could make me whole
Yet, you don't
Still you won't
What can I do?
How can I will it?
I'm falling...
I fall so fast
No hands to save me
Can you save me?
Do you want to?
Butterfly cocooned
Dying in the encasing
Help me
But you won't
An owl's prey
I fly faster only to stay
What is the use?
I'm captured

Packed with the emotion of a confused and lonely soul.
If you can compel someone to read from start to finish you did a good job
And you did !!

It is torment indeed when
things stand in the way and
all you want to do is love and
be loved. You expressed your
emotions well. I hope you two
can find a way to make it work.
Truly , Doug

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url).

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
