Empty Chasm Of Tears Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Empty Chasm Of Tears



Echoes of sorrow penetrate my heart and mind, there is
nowhere else for them to go, caught within intellect,
having known you, unable to be reached, unable to love
or be loved.

An empty chasm full of tears, storms of emotion and
feelings taunting every moment alone with the memory
of you, my love.

Lost, driven to the edge of life, nowhere to go, no
one to hold me, just the memories you have made with me
through the years.

Holding them tightly, looking for your love, but there
is none here for me, you have spent all you had on some-
one else before coming to know me.

Now living in this void you have created, wanting to be
let go and yet not wanting to, just hoping against hope
that you will find some love to give me in these my final
days.
