screaming
pain of loneliness,
sears every nerve,
turning day into purgatory,
night into hell
where demons dance
a diabolical step,
while assaulting my mind
with disjointed dreams,
then awakening
in a sweat soaked bed
to find comfort
in the blue glow
of a television screen.

Quite a wonderful expression of pain here, Jonas. Don't you just hate those lonely night sweats? I like the other kind much better.

I have had such experiences, not a good feeling, but it is temporary. Great write my friend.

(tears fall down my cheeks) So very sad, dearest friend, loneliness is too a feeling I've dealt with all my life, but as long as you believe in yourself, you will find joy, for I have found some of it recently with my true love! (big hugggssssss) Soooooo heartwrenching, sweet friend, all our hearts go out to you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gary, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Jonas,
your poem was pain filled.I hope this helps to you lighten up in the dark of night.

hey Seattle come to me
together we can sleepless be
I know of ways to fill the night
change your screams into delight
stay awake until the dawn
revitalised in early morn
to find a power in loves content
makes sleep a wasted sacrament
Keth.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
