Captivating Loneliness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reason flees in desperation, as sorrow floods it thoroughly with crystal saddened tears, threatening to turn to dust, drying out my heart and soul.
Captivating an empty loneliness with perceptions of youthful times.

Slowly turning around, seeing life in retrospect, tearing me in pieces as I realize that it is almost gone and I haven't found any answers.
No way to turn around the sorrow always pulling me into abysses of other people's emptiness.

Finding explanations don't fit in with the emotional content of a lifetime.
Sensing the grief in many others throughout days of strife, living alone and never roaming into joyous pastures of fruitlessness.
