Blinded By Abandonment Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Beating my head against a brick wall, stubbornly wanting
to be only with you, baby, yet you don't even know that
I exist.

Ignoring me even when standing next to you, being blinded
by grief, feeling sorry for yourself and shutting out life
for you are forlorn and lost.

Wandering earth in the presence of emptiness, loneliness
and abandonment through an intense sadness, silently
waiting for you to notice the love I have for you within
my heart.
