Every Day I Die

I cry yet do not weep The remnants of my pillaged decaying heart Lay in the putrid foul gutter deep Beneath your feet Cursed at birth wounded throughout life Feeling the hurt of countless stabbing knifes A mere puppet torn this way and that Deflated emancipated buried Feeling lost lonely and crap So much love to give I spend my life in darkness and limbo And do not live Time goes past So fast I lay here in my cocoon And lick my wounds On the dark side of the moon Lacking affection and tender care I reach out but still no one there No lovers head nuzzled gently upon my chest Do rest No pleasure no relief I mourn my passing with so much grief Unwanted unloved unlovable I rest my weary bones In the freezing gutter my heart no home Waiting anticipating my impending fate Won't someone rescue me Before it's too late As I slip closer and closer to oblivion.

How often have I been in the same place, Peter. I know what you are going through. Yesterday was a day of tears, today is better. We have to hold on to the good as long as it lasts. My thoughts are with you. Hugs

Hi Eileen. sorry you can relate to this. I find writing and expressing myself like this very therapeutic. also my faith in God. Some can express themselves some find it more difficult . but sometimes I feel we need an outlet to reduce the pressure. writing is my way, and keeps my mind off other things. thank you so much for passing by. glad your feeling better. Pete.

Hi Peter, read my "My Delectable" and you will see. As long as you reach for human faces for your needs, you are not going to be fulfilled. Hope this helps. You will always have me as a friend. Miss that funny jester. :)

Sorry about your sister. I'd hate anyone else going through it. She needs love and reassurance, and someone who understands. writing is my therapy I need to express my thoughts and feelings, as things just get too much. if she ever needs a compassionate ear; I will pray for here. take care thank you. Pete. X.
