Drops Of Sorrow Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Emptiness surrounds my heart, filling my eyes with tears
of sadness and drops of sorrow.

Heart beating needlessly for I do not wish to continue
living without you, there is nothing in life that can
fill this void of me missing you.

Staring into the atmosphere, watching the sun rise in the
morning, drinking my hot cup of tea, wondering why I feel
it necessary to do so.

Thinking does not come, only pictures of your face smiling
at me, eyes filled with love.

Emptiness continues to surround my heart, catching at my
mind and intellect, interrupting my perceptions of reality.

No one understands the futility of living that I am feeling
within since you have died and left me alone.

They cannot feel the total emptiness that fills my being,
and I cannot explain it to them.

Feeling more alone than ever, because no one listens to my
heart's voice telling them how I feel since you left and
went home without me by your side.

Living with this lonely emptiness, being forsaken by loss
and other people's uncaring or unknowing attitudes.

Emptiness surrounds my heart, filling my eyes with tears
of sadness and drops of sorrow.

Heart beating needlessly, for I do not wish to continue
living without you in my life.
