Broken Life Living Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Quietly watching a friend across the miles, seeing
him live a life of loneliness and sorrow, always
striving to live his life alone.

Listening to music, writing, reading, thinking,
sitting in front of a picture of his wife, feeling
the desolation her passing has caused him.

Heart having been broken in two, half of it now
missing in death's embrace, a lost soul being
tantalized by this love he still has for her.

Even though now, she cannot return it any longer,
leaving a deep void within him.
