Why Can't I? Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Why Can't I?



Why must I always be alone, why can't I have anyone here on
earth, I'm only human?

Loneliness, emptiness, I feel each day is excruciating, why
can't it be another way?

Loneliness hurts so much, that I cannot contain it, and
it's spilling out of my eyes in the form of tears.

Crying and breathing becomes a burden that cannot be taken,
as life folds in upon itself, hiding away, causing ever-
deepening loneliness as the pit of emptiness grows deeper
still.

So poignant rut so true that I cannot hold my tears. Yes loneliness is so cruel and menacing that only who suffer, they only can say how weird it is! ! ! ! .

U r not alone. There r many lonely souls out there. But perhaps every woman cant be paired with a man since there r more women than men. But dont lose hope. Sombody is gonna come by and u wil forget yor lonelines. An appealing poem nicely written. Great to read u again.
