Being Unloved Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Being unloved hurts deeply, piercing the soul, ripping
a heart to shreds, love once fully given then suddenly
fading into the distance, no one to share or talk to.

Despair filling every particle of being as tears fall,
deafening the sound of our heartbeats once beating to-
gether for we are no more.

Now bereft, stranded, alone, not even knowing who you
are anymore, an identity having been shared through the
years has been dissolved, leaving nothing to grasp onto.

Floating helplessly out to sea, love once so vibrant, full
and unconditional, now having been given to someone else,
giving them a new beginning.

Ending the one we had for years, life now in total dark-
ness because our love has gone into the light of another's
life, leaving this heart alone in a back alley, forlorn
and broken.
