Your Favorite Song -Ask the Lonely

Love crumbled, fading away from my hand To disappear with the painful breath of time The silence which loneliness did command Filled a pit with dung which I had to climb Emotional expanse welled up inside To share its rush of memories once real With a need to scream and nowhere to hide From a pain filled wrecked continuous wheel It spun and spun from its hurtful release As it moved forgiveness to persuasion To seek hopeful prayers the pain would cease From cobweb tangles of abrasion To disturb one who has no one to blame To ask the lonely their measure of pain contest Your Favorite Song Ask The Lonely by the Four Tops 4/13/17

The Four Tops had some great tunes, Frederick, and "Ask the Lonely" was one of them. You have captured the mood and essence of the song beautifully in your sonnet. Anyone who has lost a loved one and felt the sting of loneliness afterward will appreciate the message. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. And Happy Easter!
