You are only a dream
The shadow of a reality that does not exist
A warmth that will never be known to me
Always out of my reach
All that I touch is cold and hard
All I feel is emptiness
The more I give the less I receive
Each time I trust
The trust is shattered
The mirror falls from the wall
Seven years bad luck is endless
I am lost in the darkness
Crying out for one to love
I stumble over the wreckage
Of past relationships that block my way
If your hand is there I do not see it
I cannot reach it
I am trapped
Held by chains of my own making
Lack of confidence holds me fast
Fear bites into my flesh
So many fears
Layered from past experiences
But the worst
The worst
Is
Of
Being
Alone
Author notes
Option 8
My husband, now exhusband left me and our children four years ago, we had been married 18 years, I was devasted.
Since then I have tried to trust but I always seem to be let down.
I will be 50 in a few weeks, I am at Uni trying to re-start my life but I feel trapped and alone.
I have friends and family but without a partner to share my life it seems to have little purpose.
