Brokenhearted

gray hair   tear fill eyes 
no reason for existence 
wilted petals fall

As the hair grays and withers, so do the flower petals. Apt poetic analogy, Eve! :) gw

We become brokenhearted when we feel we are no longer needed.. when we do not feel the Love, care and the recognition.. We age in body but we need to feel the power of life and love inside us.. we need to feel there is still a reason for our existence.. a mission to accomplish.. So touching is your poetry! So beautiful a rendition! My pleasure, dear Eve! Warmest wishes. Love and hugs.

It is difficult for me to understand depression as I never fall asleep without thinking of something I want to do as soon as I wake up, even if it is only to write a silly limerick! Aloha! Rico

no reason for existence.. is a horrible state of mind.. There should be some reason for us to find.. Great expression of depression..
