I will remember these days
   I know I won't forget
Although it seems so strange
   and so familiar...yet
I've done what I have done
   and now my Heart and Soul are gone

Again the shots were called
   and I'm not knowing why
And now I am appalled
   at how life passed me by
I've done what I have done
   And now my Heart and Soul are gone

Alone...
   the world just keeps on turning round and round
to keep me yearning for the place I'm never bound

And now my Heart is calling
   but I never hear a sound
Oh, where can I be found ?
    Where can I be found ?

Very sad poem, Geoffrey. Remember, it is always darkest just before dawn. I wish you brighter days ahead.

When Christ said: "I was hungry and you fed me," he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
--Mother Teresa in "a gift for God"

How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen,
What old December's bareness everywhere!
--The Bard--"sonnet 97"

hang in there --it will get better,,not much at first, but who knows-- heck you should have seen me 4 years ago if you think i am bad now..lol
