the pain of loneliness

MY heart is torn to shreds' and my eyes are raw through the tears I have shed. loneliness is now my friend and will be with me until the end. I sit in a room looking out of the window wondering where it all went wrong not knowing where or when or how long. not wanting to eat not able to sleep emotions rising and exposed I tried to bury deep. not wanting to talk to anyone not answering my phone blocking out the world as I want to be alone. day turns to night and night turns to day how long have I felt like this? days weeks months I don't know I cannot say. I am no longer strong and I have no will to fight and I wish to god take me in the night. no more loneliness no more sorrow I have no wish to see the sunset of tomorrow.

oh my, Paul....your poem brought sorry in my heart for you. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this level of painful loneliness. I'm at a loss for words, words that could comfort and strengthen you. For a short period of time in my life, I was where you are....the only thing I could do was take one day at a time and find comfort and strength in little things that had value to me. Know I hold you in my heart tonight, Sara
