Alone Absurd Adrift

Alone devastated by years of betrayal my future feels like it's over. Contemplating committing suicide depression has me in its grip weeping in solitude suffering all alone. Absurd to cry for love and yet it feels so sad watching desire suddenly fade and passion's burning flame flicker out. For what is left is nothing more than a fantasy dream, fueled by the absurd. Adrift clinging to hope I'm floating aimlessly on the fringes of time and space searching for the other half of my soul. And the sharp edge of rejection slices through fantasy setting feelings adrift. (Linked Rictameter) 5/7/2015

Visually beautiful poem, Emile. And my favourite imagery: "Adrift clinging to hope I'm floating aimlessly on the fringes of time and space searching for the other half of my soul."

I can feel the pain of this incredible poem. I know some of these feelings. The sentiments are so real to the reader, and you know how to put us into the piece. I love the lines:"I'm floating aimlessly on the fringes of time and space." and " depression has me in its grip weeping in solitude suffering all alone."...the despair is heavy. Incredible write! Always, Laura

The feelings in this poem are acute in agony...its astounding how devastating love can be Emile, and you delivered love's darkness so directly to the heart. "And seek out the other half of my soul...setting feelings adrift." The pain in your poetry is profound, the desolation illuminating...J.A.B.
