Devastating Space Of Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Walking down streets of solitary confinement, wanting
to escape to a better time, yet sorrow holds me fast
to these lonely avenues of strife and loss.

Darkness falls, covering me fully with an emptiness
folding me into it's vast loneliness, no way to remove
myself from this devastating space of life.

There's no way around this vacant sphere, I cannot be
myself anymore for you are no longer here, messages
being clearer as are devastating feelings of abandonment.

Falling into the sheer despair of agony and grief of
my love which is no longer in this life, sorrow now
drenching me forever.
