Cold, Lonely World Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

This world can be so cold and lonely, even here in this hot
arid desert, moments spent in empty loneliness, feelings of
abandonment grating against our hearts and minds.

Taking us into depths of sorrow and sadness lying within,
feeling hopelessness fill our beings, searching for some
companionship and love.

Not really wanting it, knowing if it's found, the end result
will be the same once again, for we will never be able to
hold onto any of it in this temporary life.
