empty

the emptiness hurts
like a blade turning deep
dull aching, tearing me apart

silence is overwhelming
lack of words hurting more than a million
deafening emptiness

painful waves lap at my heart
reminding me of its broken pieces
wondering if it will ever heal enough to give it away

darkness all around -- closing in cutting me off
no one to hear my scream
no one to wipe my tears
no one no one NOT ONE

here i sit, soulless and alone
tears unending
why do i feel so worthless, why is what i do not enough
enough for me to feel like its ok

Sorry to hear that Maxine.

I take it you have moved on from that now.
Hope that void has been filled and that you feel you're worth much more than you imagined.

Bring the smiles back!

Oh sorry to hear that. Again I have been there and visit a bit too often.

Thank you for the comments. Sadly these words are about me, was cathartic to write.

It was written years ago, and dusted off a few weeks ago to share with a friend.

Maxine I'm hoping this is not from personal experience.
In any case the pathos is touching, nicely crafted.

no one to hear my scream
no one to wipe my tears
no one no one NOT ONE

A cry for help. May your voice be heard!!

Very deep. I have so felt like that. Not sure if this is about you or a piece you created. Hope it is the latter.
