My Loneliness

As lonely as a gravestone
Inscribed with a name
That time has long forgot
Hidden away under the undergrowth
Where my bones are left to rot.

As empty as a river now dry
That once used to flow
My life has no longer no direction
My heart no home to go.

As frightened as an unwanted  kitten
Thrown into a sack
Crying out in the darkness
For it's Mother to come back.

The clock ticks away
And I die a little more everyday
Who cares if I live or die
There's no one their to hear my cries
Anyway.

Peter, this is a sad piece.If these are your true feelings, let me say I care and so does several of your other soup friends.I also concur with Anne- Lise. Choose to be happy and let it overwhelm your heart. Take care my soup friend:) Alexis

Choosing happiness is not easy at all. However when sadness chooses you, you still have a choice to happy even though its hard :) Alexis

Hi Alexis. thank you so much for your kind words. you have always been a rower of strength and support to me, and I can't thank you enough. I had a date last week,. but she wasn't the one for me. A beautiful girl, but because of her being separated from her husband, I didn't want to get involved. it's a shame. thank you for your advice and goodwill. my best wishes. Pete.
