Sadness Grasping Senses Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Hollow and lifeless, feeling emptiness filling the void
within my heart.

Lonesome and abandoned in this world, holding onto a
friend who believes and treasures what I do explicitly.

Never having been so close to anyone before, feeling
a sadness grasping all senses within my being.

Taking my heart and wringing it like a sponge, yet no
tears fall from within it.

Sorrow having dried up my tears with continual crying,
because I cannot fathom life any longer without you.
