Margaret Foster Poet Couplet

Lonliness

Loneliness

Lonely so lonely, so empty, I cry
What is this feeling that’s draining me dry?
Weary so weary, no zest anymore,
Sleep does not conquer and rest won’t restore.
Is it depression? I can’t tell for sure
No pills or potions affecting a cure.
Praying for lightness, a lifting of doom,
A small spark of brightness piercing the gloom
Your leaving, an ache, my heart has to thole
Your lack of loving, beyond my control
But here in my life a painful regret
Our time together I’ll never forget

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 10, 2010 at 4:28 AM This sad, but heartfelt poem, addresses an all too often reality of life in these "modern" days of mankind. Love and forgiveness, hand in hand, can take away some of the pain caused by "lost" love as the flicker of memories warms within. Thank you, Margaret, for your recent comments on my work. I have definitely missed the soup for the past week. But I am back home, now! Thank you in advance, for understanding my delay in thanking you. Lovingly, Dane Ann
