trying to escape the loneliness Date: Tuesday, 1st April 2003 @ 09:52:40 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: faffeee strange to feel so lonely, looking round these happy faces an emptyness stretches to deepest unknown places a numbing ache creeps in swiftly at the slightest chance it settles on my heart and i know its here to last i find anger and resent in other's pure joy find tears and desperation in the softest sigh pain comes now, too often and too deep memories flicker and they never leave me to feel alone, just wanting protection all i want is strong arms, to give tender affection pretending to be happy in a life without love waiting with dying faith, and a crying heart This poem is Copyright © faffeee Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
