Dennis Ramaker Poet Free verse

Buried Love

I'm a man who's filled with sorrow,
been in trouble all my life.
Pain and suffering are my steadfast companions
and my life is constant strife.
I yearn to hold my daughter, tightly...
I need my wife to soothe me, nightly.
I love my sisters and my brothers
and I have love for many others...
but it's buried deep inside me
and I use a stern facade to try to hide me.
I need love...I need to love!
Dam you, "Charlie", you wrecked my life !!!
