One Life To Live

My heart yearns to be reciprocated Every good heart deserves to be loved The passion is still strong yet dimly lit Keeping the faith as the fate is growing I’m feeling faint and falling to my knees Loss of breath, depth, and height I'm losing my firm grip slowly letting go My palms are sweaty, my spirit is frail Disconnected from the rest of my being I’m weak, limber...fluctuating high and low I am invisible, silent like dead flies Falling from the night's sky like a tear drop In mine eye, a red river is flowing You can see lonesome shadows of despair Hearing cries of help during the midnight breeze Pain and agony, hurt and betrayal Blank slate is naive too soon to prevail Escaped from reality and plumeth... Buried six feet under with soil and dirt Ashes to dust like crumbling particles My soul evaporates into thin air... Was my identity lost or stolen? You have one life to live so live it To the fullest as if it were your last

I Like this introspective poetry. It's the great thing about writing poetry - one finds out about one's self and others. Congrats on the selection. Dave
