Nothing Matters Anymore

Nothing matters anymore Don’t care what life has in store On love I’ve gone and closed the door No, nothing matters anymore I’m lying here alone in bed With storms raging inside my head It feels like I’m already dead…. Nothing matters anymore Don’t care about the world outside I just need a place to hide From betrayers who have lied… Nothing matters anymore Just want to be left alone Want to turn my heart to stone I hate myself, for I should have known Nothing matters anymore I’ve got no more strength in me To be what you want me to be All around heartache I see Nothing matters anymore I want to let life go on by Can’t explain the reasons why But right now I am close to die Nothing matters anymore Nothing matters anymore Just walk out of that door Please, trouble me no more Nothing…nothing matters anymore.

You know what Eileen, most of the great poets suffered the highs and lows, need I say more. Regards Richard

Thanks, Richard....and the writers and the painters! We are a tortured lot, but if it creates beauty...then we should just roll with the punches! Hugs!

your sad poems are so filled with longing and pathos. i always hope that they're fictional, though...

They are born from my heart, Ilene...I do go through the roller coaster of life....my highs are very high...I'll be flying with exuberance, but unfortunately, my lows are very low...Oh, for that happy middle ground that is often illusive. Thanks for the love and care!

Thanks, Harry....I cling to your words of comfort right now. I'm unwell...I find it hard to concentrate, and I have a myriad things to do....but my brain is just not willing to cooperate with me! Thanks for being there for me. It means so much!

It's sad to read this... I hope this is just your imagination and not a direct reflection of what you're going through! You can vent now, but I wouldn't hold onto these feelings... love and friendship can't develop in this state of mind. Hope all is well on your side of the screen!

No...I'm a bit down, Timothy. When I wrote this a while ago....I didn't want to get out bed. Had some time with hubby...I'm better, but not out of it yet. It takes time. Just down on myself...will get better soon! Thanks for the post.
