The tears rain down Flooding through my soul Washing away the pain Leaving only loneliness The empty shell of a man A man I thought I could be "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

hhmmmm - Interesting poem. I see much in here and the possibility for expansion. I like the implied hopelessness that can be felt... our emotions can definitely overrule our logic at times. Bravo. Christopher |

taramw.....Thanks for stoppig by. Short and sharp, I think so too. As for good or bad, I leave that up to others to judge! I'm glad you enjoyed! Victoria....It's always nice to know that you liked my ramblings, thanks! jann elizabeth......I was pretty sad when I wrote the words so I guess I have succeded in my expression. Thanks for reading and your comments. Christopher...you are perceptive, as always. I too feel there was more to add, in a way though I hope I don't finish it. When the emotions are in full flight logic has little say in things. Thankyou for your valued comment. Isis.....The man I could be, wanna be, am! sometimes it is all just a blur. I know your words are true but when you reach those depths it's hard to stay positive. I appreciate your time.

Oh no, another person feeling so sad and lonely. Good thing we can all dump it out here. I think you will feel more like you again soon. I can surely understand that blank, empty state. Take care. Sandra |

Sandra......The need to express the emotions is overwhelming sometimes. It's been so long I'm not sure what "me" feels like anymore. Ron.....Beer and tears are a bad combination. I think far too many have "been there". Dee...I think words from the heart are always effective. I'm soory that you have experienced these feelings, take care! Thanks too you all for your concern and friendship, it is appreciated! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

I can relate to this from a woman's perspective. You put it into words so wonderfully mournful. I enjoyed the feeling of this poem very much. Thanks for sharing! |
