Related To Experiences Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

That void.
That vacancy.
That emptiness that seldom leaves.
A rawness of a grief felt is left.

That unstable emotional ride one takes,
Inside pretending to hide...
Faking to have found an escape erased,
Comes back.

And as remembered...
A happiness one has achieved,
Did not come easy.
Nor cheaply was it received.

Those aches, pains and heartbreaks...
Are related to experiences.
And somehow collectively,
Delivers one a peace of mind.
