When Anguish Wails

hidden anguish wails

  dangling on throats of cold love...

    numb midnight    vacant

WOW, Wow, wow Nette, you have written a masterpiece here...I really love it! a Fave! I have 2 hrs that I have been given to use a computer a day, so I'm using it to go on the Soup this weekend, however, starting on Monday I have to go back to school and I'll have to have Emma get on to read and write for me, she is so special! I really enjoyed reading this wondrous poem this morning! You have delighted me by this incredibly sad piece! What a grandiose poem! Great Work my friend!!

You depict the unbearable feeling of emptiness in a compelling way, "dangling on throats of cold love". I'm betting on this one!
