A lonely man
standing wearily
Defeat in his eyes
Losing his lowly war
Voices from within
Echoing harsh words
At first like a whisper
Then slowly growing
Louder and louder
Until not one thought
Can be heard over the roar
Of Laughter so cold
"Why would she have you?
How could she ever love
Such a pathetic being"
Falling to his knees
Realizing the truth inside
that no person in this world
could ever begin to love
such a lowly creature
hands covering his face
as he weeps silent tears
wishing for comfort
someone who could help him
take away the pain inside
but he knows he is alone
all that surrounds him
is the lonely darkness
as the night falls
all that can be heard
are cries of heartache
wishing for an angel
the angel of death
to please release him
of the pain and sorrow
bring him home
but no answer can be heard
maybe one day
he will find peace
one day soon

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Wow...this is me, to a tee. I feel every word of this, every day of my life. Very well done. I wish you the best my friend, for I know this pain all too well.

Regret not that which you have done,
Rather that which you haven't

Very touching, and sad.  Everyone is loved by someone, but we don't always see it that way.

Live today as if it's your last.  Love today as if it's your first.   Lisa
