Feel-With Me

Please can I talk to you?
There’s no-one else
And I don’t know what to do.
I feel I’m breaking up inside,
I want to dig a big hole,
Want to run away and hide.
Do you understand how I feel?
My life’s so empty
I’ve lost everything that was real.
He was my heartbeat,now that he’s gone
What use is my life?
Why should I carry on?
I thought he would always be there,
That we would always be together.
Now there’s no- one to care.
Oh God this pain,will it never end....
Please help me-let me share my feelings
So that life can once again be my friend.



I wrote this based on my experience when I was a volunteer Samaritan for a short while.

I have no idea what a volunteer Samaritan does, but I have a hunch you were great at it, Sylvia.

Thank you Caren for reading my work.A Samaritan is an organisation really of listeners whom people phone to chat to especially if they’re feeling suicidal.They are there to show they care,but it is very emotionally draining and my health was not up to it so I had to leave.
