To share these tears Would not dry face Mere warmth of arms Could not erase The fears that grip Without cessation But sincere words Might be salvation To speak the hurt Might not bring joy The best of listen Does not employ Magic that sweeps All pain away But gentle touch Provides a way To cope when soul Begs for surrender A spirit flogged Yearns so for tender Assurance that Someone does care I beg for that... Find it no where To stand alone Unhugged, unheard My prayers ignored Feeling absurd Conquered by fate Iced blood now clotted Unloved, I leave With tears unblotted. |

To stand alone Unhugged, unheard My prayers ignored Feeling absurd Conquered by fate Iced blood now clotted Unloved, I leave With tears unblotted. Goodness, Ruth, this is so sad. It hurts, and really touched my heart. Hope everything's okay?  Here...here's my hand.....  Ethel |

Dear Darlin' Belle, you have an open invitation to sleep over any time you choose. We can stay up all night and you can get everything off your chest--and in the literal sense, that could talk a veeeeeery long time! (Sorry, I couldn't resist that! You could even make Anna Nicole Smith envious!)  Name your poison, your favorite treats, your favourite music--and I'll have everything ready and waiting for you! We'll chat and chat and chat--and if you feel like crying--you cry! It will be what I call cathartic chit chat! Warm hugs, EA You express feeling lonely and alone, very well--too well. I really do feel like giving you a great big hug. |

Although this is sad, I can feel your strong emotions in this.May the rays of heaven shine on your heart and let your soul have that sweet laughter that I know is there. Crystal |

This could be a poem for so many Suthern, so many, and that is the sadest part of all. No one should be unvalidated, no one. Great write! |

"To cope when soul Begs for surrender A spirit flogged Yearns so for tender" To stand alone Unhugged, unheard My prayers ignored Feeling absurd" ~*~ Oh goodness Ruth ... I could feel this one right to the core. Excellent expression that left me needing and feeling the want for a hug and some tenderness myself.  Best wishes and great big hugs to you, /Kit |

Oh...Ruth...this just aches. I felt this deeply. You've expressed the pain beautifully. Big hugs, ~Vicky If you judge people, you have no time to love them. |

Oh Laura, this is so sad....I hope those words -- and that touch -- are there for you, and soon. Meanwhile, there are lots of folks who care about you. I'm glad you were able to say it with this beautiful poem, but wish you didn't have to. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Suthern, I know this feeling ever so well and I think too many in this world do! (sad sigh) I used to feel I was an untouchable because I tried to talk to people in elementary school but I was abused by boys my own age and I didn't know until I was 12 I had Asperger's Syndrome, a high-functioning autism, and that's what made me different, and no one could understand what made me different and that left me alone! (you can read more about my experience in my interactive journal in the pipTalk Lounge) (big hugggssssss) Know that you are special always and here you are never alone as you have many friends like me who love you so much, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Suthern, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

I thank you! *S* Sunnyone: Hugs always helpd. *S* Thank you very much! *S* Seymour: Of course it counts dear one. *S* Thank you! LR: I knw... but "out here" can feel awfully far away. *S* Thank you, sweet nephew. EA: I was about to say that you're awfully trusting... for all you know I may be a champion snorer. *G* But it seems no sleep at all at this sleepover? *S* Thank you, sweet lady... and hugs back to you. *S* angelblueyes: You're right... it's just hiding at the moment. G* Thank you very much! Mysteria: But they are... and one giant step back obliterates many painful baby steps forward. Thank you! *S* QjQ: Thank you very much, kind sir. *S* Martie: It does... some more than otheres... but all help. *S* thank you! PS: I thank you, madame! *S* Kit: I think hugs and tenderness sustains our psyche as breath sustains our need for oxygen. *S* Thank you! vlraynes: I knew there wasn't a happier on... the warm embrace it found means much. Thank you! *S* Marge: That poetic circling feels suspiciously like beating head against brick wall. *S* Thank you so much.
