What Do You Do

What do you do when the love has gone You wake up every morning where you don't belong What do you do when your trust has been broken Where there's been lying and deceit, unhappiness your token What do you do to absorb all this grief What is the remedy to find some relief What do you do when there is no end in sight When you know it's now broken and it will never be right What do you do when you have no place to run Is it the front of a train or at the end of a gun http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-8.php

I don't know what to do either, James. The grief and loneliness can be overwhelming. You're on a roll today and have produced some excellent poetry! Much admiration and love, Carolyn

Hi James, fortunately for me it was writing that helped me, rather than the train or gun. Although I have to admit there were certainly time when I didn't want to go on. A powerful and thought provoking write ~ Sharon :)
