I Do Not Tell
~ By Sue ~

If I could write a poem or two
As beautiful as all of you
Of happiness and love and such
Maybe someones heart I'd touch

But, happiness just is not there
With no one here to even care
I do not tell what I might need
All these things to myself I keep

If love would come my way and stay
My days would not be so gray
Then I would not feel so worthless
And feel a little bit of happiness

No more loneliness would I feel
And my life would feel more real

Sue- I know this feeling all too well. It is the all too common theme that everyone wishes for that one to love and who will love them back.
And I have to absolutely take an objection to the first stanza. You do ahve the talent that many of us wish we had... it is THEY who are too dense to realize what they have standing in front of them. It is their loss.

When the morning cries and you don't know why...

Check that one off the list....you do that with great regularity.

And for the rest -- you never know. You just never know when or where or why or how, but it can happen at the most shockingly, distressingly unlikely times.....

Hi Sue, and yes you do too have talent!!!  So, no more of that, ok???  You're a writer, here amongst a family of writers, and although I know how hard it is to feel so lonely, just keep talking to us...we'll share it with you, my friend!!!  

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

You are never alone if you have made friends with your self.A person can be lonely in a crowded room.

Dear Sue, you write beautifully! Love will knock at your door, just keep your heart on alert! Expect only the best.
Your words are so heartfelt, like a prayer.
May it be answered!
Love, Margherita

Ah Sue..you are doing so well..
and you continue to write it out...
I think you're doing just fine.

dancing with you in the summer rain~

My sister Enchantress is correct Sue. You are doing fine, though you might not see the blue skies through the grey yet. Paladin has a valid point in his response as well.
  You write lovely poetry sweet lady!
            hugs, Chris
