Traffic sounds, a whisper in the trees
I realize that these
are sounds of my loneliness

tears crashing upon my hands
heart tightened with restricting bands
signs of my loneliness

a soft sigh sounds so loud
in the middle of a noisy crowd
need feeds my loneliness

wondering in my mind
if love is truly blind
distance increases my loneliness

Boy can I identify with this one, PdV.  This is beautifully illustrated; a lot of deep meaning packed into a few words.

*sigh* I know the feeling all too well--and believe me, sometimes I catch myself thinking that I'll never find the love I search for.  But it's out there, and we will find it eventually...at least that's what ppl tell me!  --Jamie      


 "I know I should have told you
But I was so afraid you'd leave
And now there's nothing left to say
Well nothing that you'd believe
I never meant to hurt you
With the things I couldn't say
I promise you tomorrow
While denying you today..."

Sad, but beautiful. Those must be pretty big tears to crash like that.

It was very much how I feel sometimes...



tears crashing was effective...the whole thing was short and to the point...

sad, sad.   I had an image of you sitting in your car in the middle of traffic and just sitting there even when the light turned green, sitting and having the pain of lonliness hit you and you loose it and start to cry.  I don't know what image you had when you wrote this, but that's what I thought of.

Loneliness can stab deeply, I know so well, as I'm sure most of us do.  I sincerely hope your loneliness comes to an abrupt halt and someone fills your life to the brim.  This is a beautiful piece and very poignant.

Some times it feels that you are outside a house looking in the window.
As soon as you enter reality changes.

I've felt that.

You've captured this well
