Loneliness A seemingly endless struggle that at least one point in time everyone is forced to endure Affliction A cancer eating away my heart my days are spent in vain praying for a miraculous cure Closure Is what I impetuously seek as I attempt to close the book intent to end this cruel nightmare Screaming In anguish while drowning in pity I find myself standing on the edge of a sea of emptiness and despair Intrepidly Shall I just dive in headfirst and brave the unyielding elements to conquer my inner fear to explore Perceptive I know each stroke I take toward the horizon is blindly leading me further away from the shore Imprisoned In a world with courage my shortfall withering like a flower shielded from the warmth of the sun Harbored Like a ship from the vast obscurity until I hoist the rusted anchor and my internal voyage has begun Although I tread water to keep my head afloat for myself I can't help but ponder what fate may have in store Destination Will I find a love I need to survive or forever hold firmly on to that emotional key afraid to open the door Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

 (big hugggsssssss) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, I understand this empty feeling so much but I know soon your dreams will breach upon the shores and you will find closure and clarity and comfort to always bask in! (sigh) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thanx Noah, I wrote this after my wife and I split up, I was really lonely and had a lot of unanswered questions to deal with. I had to take some time before I could get involved again, but now my love life is greater than ever. I really feel like part of a family here, thanx for making me feel so welcome. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |
