I am hollow

Photobucket


Its those hollow notes
My heart now sings
Loneliness I languish
Upon broken wings

My shattered dreams
Are left without light
Could this be the end
Of heart taking flight

I could no longer soar
As wings fall apart
Knowing your silence
Is breaking my heart

For a heart cannot fly
When nothing flows
In the absence of you
My heartache grows

Today my heart is heavy,
as I bow my head in shame,
I search for easy answers,
or someone that I can blame.

The salty teardrops trickle
down my worn and tired face,
symbolic of what my life has been,
a sad and lonely place.

I close my eyes and ponder,
will I ever be free,
will I ever learn to love someone,
will they like the me they see?

The tears they seem endless,
my life flashes before my eyes,
How much longer must I carry,
the weight of this disguise.

I close my eyes and ponder,
will I ever be free,
will I ever learn to love someone,
will they like the me they see?

Will there ever be true happiness
for someone just like me?
Make it?
I can’t take it
Please help me
Can’t you see?
You belong to me
Rescue my soul
From myself

    The background & picture is wonderful on this. Your poem pours out heartbreak. I am sorry for your pain that is going on in your life. I hope things will get better. If you need a shoulder I have big ones.

    I needed this. I've felt this way for so long, and to see it summed up in something as beautiful as this has given me some relief. This was a really great poem. I hope everything works out for you. Hang in there

    This is sad, hon'. I know that it must be hard for you right now, but just remember that you already have so much to live for. You don't need him to be happy. We all make our own happiness from deep within us, and I will always be here for you.
