A Rose That Won'T Grow

As A Rose That Never Grows. . A single drop in a vast deep ocean The furthest star in the night sky As lonely as a rejected leper So am I . As a flower that never blooms Undernourished without love not care Living in limbo With no one to share . For I no less than an orphan Umbilical chord severed from the world My world a dark barren desert My will ignored and upheld . Cursed to wander as a ghostly spirit The chains that bind me Under lock and key Only true love can release And cause my agony and pain To cease. . For I live a living death Feel less than human All I know is pain Soon I will be gone But not missed But hope to rise again And be loved As I should. Peter Dome©2020.

So sad and heart wrenching, a painful and heartfelt write that touches the soul with yearning for love that doesn't always come calling for a while.. but it shall come. God's light shines bright in the heart still and He will fill it with love again. God B L E S S you sweet friend. This is beautiful and moving...

Hi Peter, You have penned such a write that just tugged at the heartstrings. The loneliness that you described in this write is intense and profound.No one should have to feel that lonely. Good content and good metaphors as well. Great job my friend. I hope you are well and staying safe. Enjoy your day and weekend- Alexis
