Miserable Hoping

love
wanting
to seize you
but hesitate
your fingers to grasp
a hand that has wait sowed
wrinkled and worn on still flesh
and has lost its youth by hours
that were passed on miserable hoping
of wanting your return to be granted

Hi Jessica this poem is so heart felt and truly sad and I can truly relate to your emotions and your feelings in more ways then I can explain because there is just not enough room to type on every line But I have been where you are and I am still dealing with being on my own after two years now without anyone else being around, but honestly it has given me the opportunity to rediscover myself again. I do hope and pray that things will get better for some day God bless you always Dean.

Gripping poem. Much for the reader to think about. Good use of this challenging form. Keep on writing. Karen
