I've lost myself along the way,
Lost the confidence I had yesterday.
Flailing on life's quick sand,
Cries of despair the only sound.

Pain never ending,
Again consumes me,
Where is the happy Isis
I used to be?

Cold and alone,
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone who cares,
Always alone and headed nowhere.

Happiness an illusion,
Love a gift,
My soul is tatters,
My heart has a rift.

Praying for peace,
Praying for "Our Moonlight",
Praying for I don't know what,
Praying for lasting contentment.

Will it come, or should I give up the fight?
For I'm sick of no comfort alone late at night,
Words too few or left unspoken,
What remedy for a heart that is broken?

Who'll pick up the pieces?
Wipe away the tears?
Comfort me now and always,
Chase away my fears?


 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
~Isis~

The one you seek is out there Isis...don't ever give up the fight. I didn't, and my soulmate appeared out of nowhere. This poem touched me. I was asking the same questions just a few short months ago.

Don't give up my kindred. . . don't ever give up. . . it will come. . . it's just not time yet. . . remember, we ask the questions in our time, and the answers come in fate's time. . .

You never know. . .the answer may come on "The Moonlight. . ."

Hi, I really like the way that you write, you have passion beyond the words. I don't see that all the often. I'm sure you will get the moonlight.

It's not only moonlight, it's everything.
Just one of those days      I'm ok but what better way to feel better than vent?
Thanks everyone  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

Very nice writing Isis..I know that feeling when you are with someone but they are not there emotionally for you...the close friendship or companionship you desire always seems so far away.   James

Oh!! This ripped at my heart like you can not even imagine. I had given up (literally) on anyone and ever having someone in my life.

And then there he was from literally nowhere.. and he is now my everything.

Incredibly raw with emotion and power Isis!

Sven venting is good, it DOES help to get it out...  as long as no one weird thinks I'm weird or pathetic!!

Isis,
This one touched my heart.  I can relate to the feelings in so many ways.  It does help to write about them....a way to cope.  Don't give up the fight....he may come around yet.

Isis,
I agree with Lone Wolf above, this one 'touches my heart.'  I've been here before (many times) and it is not anything pleasant to go thru by yourself.  You are strong though, strong enough to post your feelings to the World, and now we are here to comfort you.  Take Care Isis.  Great Work.

rip at my heart strings!  loneliness is a horrible monster, ain't it?  the pain is so raw isis!  i hope you are doing ok!  SMILE!    i know loneliness...you'll make it!  you're stronger than you think!  
******
Cold and alone,
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone who cares,
Always alone and headed nowhere.
******
There is hope, hon!  you do have a way with words, though!  the emotions are stark and simply jump off the page and into my heart as i read so that by the end i feel i'm right there with you wondering if love and true happiness actually exist!  joy exists and so does love -- they are just evasive little boogers!  you'll catch 'em isis!

Will it come, or should I give up the fight?
For I'm sick of no comfort alone late at night,
Words too few or left unspoken,
What remedy for a heart that is broken?

Who'll pick up the pieces?
Wipe away the tears?
Comfort me now and always,
Chase away my fears?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know the feelings you share, and I ask the questions myself. Why should we have to feel this way? Does true love and happiness really exist?
Take care, please

When you feel like giving up,
Never give up,
when you feel your world
is breaking into pieces,
think of the next day,
It's  bound  to be a bright day
after the clouds pass away,
wait and you shall be rewarded.

Always remember you are loved by us.....take care :^*

luv ya,

No hugs necessary jannel but thanks for the offer, I love group hugs!!
What this is is an adaption of the old 60's song, "What becomes of the Broken Hearted' with some Isis/self adaptions stuck in there.
I'm not down or anything, just playing...
Thanks everyone, glad for all the responses  


 May the world hug you today,
