Without you a house is just a place
with room upon room,
that is empty with furniture without people,
where I am also empty in my existence.

I can relate to this very touching poem and the effort loneliness can have on someone. Depression is the silent demon and can keep you in a dark, isolated place. Thank you for sharing your poem Gert!
A heart-wrenching poem that so eloquently sums up the depressing state of loneliness. And in such great succinctness! Heartiest Congrats, Gert on your well deserved POD!
