Lonely Aint Working

When love rap-taps upon her door, it is merely sound she ignores.
No more time spent taking pictures or enjoying family dinners …
                   love aint working for her anymore
In her story, feeding on her fury, gone is life's glory, love purely blurs.
So ever still, my love rap-taps upon my Mother's newly framed door ...
                   love aint working for her anymore

Hello CayCay, I like this rhyme. Lonely is not working for me either. Have a nice evening my friend.

Your melancholy words reach deep. This poem contains a profound sadness wrapped in the kind of pain that can strangle. Wonderful writing CayCay! xxoo

Thank you, Charlie. Would you believe I'm tone deaf and can't write music? Lyrics, I could do, but the rest - just a dream, a good one. Thank you for visiting ... CayCay
