Do not think of me; go on your solitary way, search empty valleys or deserted mountain tops. Or trek towards the seashore. See, the horizons beckon, ever-shifting, changing, always fluctuating, mutable. You sucked my soul away: I am an empty husk, worthless, ineffectual, useless. Move on towards the sun shining in the high skies but be careful lest you yourself are burnt away to worthless cinders. So do not think of me. Move on, be bright the future is now yours, I'm merely just a past. Forget me; I'm inexistent for that is my lifeline. Maybe I'll find a loving soul who loves me true, but only if you do not think of me.

Very sad; the loneliness, a feeling of emptiness comes through the lines; well expressed.

Aging is a relentless process, forever throwing up new challenges.... But we meet them head-on, we are never useless...Delice

- I encourage everyone to make everyday life better for someone else ... be a fellow human being ... Life goes up and down for most of us and it is normal to be sad from time to time ... I feel a lot of sadness in this great poem, Victor - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

A heartfelt poem Victor, indeed when feelings are one-sided, it's better to walk away. I loved the line: Maybe I'll find a true soul who loves me true, Excellent prose and very well penned.

Sometimes when a relationship is one sided its best to walk away, hard at the time but it's for the best in the long run. Tom
