To Know Sadness

Listen to poem:
To feel pain that will never leave my heart As it came to me without want or need This loss I carry has torn me apart And cut a raw wound in my heart to bleed There is no relief that comes with despair Only quiet loneliness as I grieve To be stripped of my soul and find I'm bare And accept all the torment I receive In deepest corners where emotions hide And light never touches their darkest walls I collapse from the pain I hold inside My soul cries in defeat as silence falls On the edge of forever my tears call They come to overwhelm as I withdraw 3/22/17

Frederic, so deep, dark and sadly beautiful, you touched my heart deeply with this write and your voice in the audio only makes the poem more poignant, well done ~

Reading this sent the feeling of sorrow deep into my mind, then I listened to you read it. Wow, the emotion really comes to life in your voice. Really nicely done my friend.
