Stranded Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Heart breaking, falling into pieces on the floor of my
soul, cutting deeply with sorrow overflowing through me.

Tears silently falling, no one hearing my pain or sound
of my heart breaking within me.

Living in the pain, loneliness and abandonment as empti-
ness continually drenches me thoroughly day after day.

Stranded in an interior desert with no relief in sight
and no way out of it for it's a part of my being.
