My Heart
I sit alone in bed and cry
Wondering why
Wondering why
The pain is relentless
And endless
Always endless
I'm slipping and sliding into a pool of sadness
Madness
Sadness and Madness
Come, catch me if you can
I need you
Maybe you might need me too
Kiss me
Tame me
Keep me
Slain me
Just don't leave
Or I will grieve
And cry some more
Until I'm sore

Your words, sharp and powerful, thump in rhythm at the door of my own frailty, empaling my heart until I feel numb and devastated

you have your moments as do we all, and though we literally live on the opposite sides of the planet I will always be here to "hold you until the shakes have passed" that has never changed in the years we have been friends and it never will!

Thank you Sky. It is very comforting to know I have friends who truly care and will not leave me when things get tough. I am so glad we have each other.

Your words seem to come from a wounded heart. Your words open my heart to you. My heart will always be yours and it will never leave you.

Very good minimilast it is hard using so few words to express so much emotion but you have done it so well and elegantly and bring connection in sharing the sorrow

Real life emotions are the most real life of all. It's real, and not just a piece of poetry that you write. You've portrayed your emotions with a brilliant way to show your rhyming. It's deep and personal. If your friends can surround you like a fire, your heart will have a warm place to go to. Beautiful and bittersweet at the same time!

Thankfully i am much much better now. I am grateful i was able to turn to writing.
In the year 2017, 7 years after my fall, i finally hit rock bottom. Thankfully things could not get any worse for me anymore, and i slowly began to put myself back together.
I have a lot to be grateful for now.
Thanks for reading and commenting! You gave me so much to smile about.
So wonderfuly sad. I can really feel the emptyness and pain but sense that yearning for love in the middle of deep lonelyness. Well you may still have pain in this life, but if you sure dont have to be loney any more cause your an amazing friend and you can always find me and others here!
