     When?

I wish I could
feel whole again
I keep asking myself
when, when, when
see hope
but can grasp at none
another war lost
before the battle’s done
wish you could
hear my fear
but emptiness
is so hard to hear
and how is it
I could ever explain
that my heart
is just broken
and I don’t think
I’ll ever be the same

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.....

I hope you would see it and grasp it soon.....

A touching well-done write....


Thank you

Dear Lady'
You should know by now that you will never be the same as you were. You will always be more.

Sad but as you can see many of us identify with what you are saying. Move forward
Nicely written poem

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
