Silent Plight Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Saddened, silent plight, sitting here in this quiet
desperation, wanting to be with you, but it's not
to be in this lifetime.

Being saddled with life and loss, emptied of every-
thing, lying in a bed of roses filled with the emp-
tiness of my soul.

Feeling the abandonment centered within my heart,
slowly beating itself closer to edges of tomorrow
with nothing to sooth these unpleasant feelings and
emotions.
