Why?

          Why is my heart so bleakly cold?
            Why is the darkness so deep,
       That each moment of waking, I pray the Lord
        For the soul-healing sweetness of sleep?

        The sharp tang of bitterness chains me
         To the mist-covered by-ways of pain,
       Where the warmth of the sun may not enter
       Through the tear-dripping curtains of rain.

        And I stretch forth in vain supplication
          My hands that are empty, and pray
          For Death to enfold me in silence
              And spirit my soul away.

oh, wow! i really loved this poem. Is this how you really feel? I've felt like that before. you are really good at expressing the pain and the feeling of wishing you were somewhere else. nice work!

Rex, this is only the second of yours I have read, and I can tell I will love all of your writings. I hope you are not as sad as this sounds. But if you are, you are in the right place for support and love.
