Cry of the Lonely Heart

I'm the kid staring into the shop window Without a penny to spend I am the hopeless cursed romantic Without any roses or valentines to send I'm the life and soul of the party But feels rejection like daggers to the heart The one who no longer dares to dream Because they always fall apart I am the child without no playmates The frightened kitten kicked out into the snow The dweller lost in limbo In dark places that I only know My life is a lonely uncharted island Barron of life where nothing grows. The days go by in a flash Another day wasted my hopes dashed A prisoner by fate Thrown head first through hells gate A thousand cuts to my heart My confidence at an all time low My sanity tormented and ripped apart. A shadow of my former self A dusty old book no one wants to read Left upon the shelf Someone who desired love But is resigned to little more than lust That I disgust I'm the man crawling dying of thirst in the parched desert sun I sure know what pain and hurt is But I've yet to discover life and fun.

Hi Peter, This is a moving piece. I felt the pain and sadness through every verse. We all go through moments when we feel totally and utterly alone. I sense your pain but we must remain hopeful that its a light at the end of the tunnel. Better days are up ahead for you my friend:) Alexis

There is depth of feeling and sadness in these lines, Peter. I can feel the pain of a lonely heart, but the final line leaves the door ajar for the sunlight to come through. Keep well my friend. // paul
