Emptyness

A place still lies Lonely and untouched Every night it cries Seeking for its walls to be patched A place still lies But dead in its self With broken memories And an empty shelf I struggle to find myself In the midst of all the strife But above me a cloud of darkness So thick, full of sadness The place will still lie But not utter a cry It shall continue to die Because no one asked why

Great poem. One thing: pls replace sadness with emptyness in your stanza because of two reasons: first- the title needs to dwell a line, second- a cloud of dakness explains the fact fo sadness itself. Beautiful lyric.

A poem that expresses what most passed through...Sometimes loneliness strikes so severely, yet we continue to search and find the right place....Hoping you'd have more nice days...Sara...
