Unloved

by Michael


He sits within the solitude of night,
unloved.

The wee hours
are but thundering ticks and tocks,
nothing more.

No hands reach for his.
No heart longs to touch his own.
No loving whispers are to be heard,
nor tender sighs upon his pillow,
only sprinkled tears.

His nights are drowned,
hoping for dreamless sleep
to somehow ease the hurt,
the loneliness.

A loving man
that is not loved.

Years have come and gone,
will come and go,
but will be filled with empty nights,
an empty bed,
a forlorn heart
and not "I love you"
to be heard
or said.

Michael Auguste~

Deafening especially against the silent backdrop of night.  Great write.

God....the aching and the bitterness of this reach me too deeply....

A heartfelt write....

But You will be loved.....You could be loved and not know it yet....

Thank you

  The same can also be said of fellow female poets - I can relate.  You write with such depth and sorrow, Michael, I felt every word.  Here's a big ole' hug for you, kind Sir~

Take care,

Michael--Sadness takes us all sometimes and when it is mixed with lonliness, it hurts.  You have expressed the feeling so well.  Hugs and love, dear friend!!

But, Michael, one never knows when love may come knocking......so maybe, just maybe, he will soon be "loved".....

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...
