Extract of Unhappiness

I have emptyness inside my bristling bones
Filled with sorrow, away, alone
I'm in between the lines of a blank paper
separate from the others, like a skyscraper
Does anyone lend out a hand? 
Does anyone understand?
Only one but he has reasons
to be gone at certain seasons
Will I ever find another friend?
Will I survive till the end?
I grow weiry of these feelings
I am tired, unexpired
Tick tock tick goes the clock
I await for him to step in the door
Then these feelings go away
But not forever,
They'll be back someday......

Hi, Lea...this is cool because I can acutally understand what you're talking about. Question: can you actually respond to someone's comment of your poems, if so, how? I'm still trying to figure this site out. ... you asked about illness I may have, and I wanted to respond.

gloomy,are you an old and weakened wife of a deer hunter? i'd like to lift your spirits, but your husband may come home with a shotgun. read the funnies, or watch reruns of Frazier, or other non-objectionable sitcoms, ma'am! it sounds as if you have love when he's there, so you just need an enjoyable distraction y'know what i hate? i never know when i read a poem, if the writer is expressing a need for advice, or crafting a fictional poem, setting a mood, or what. sometimes i pontificate
