A tear rolled, and though she tries hard to hide
It fell, splattering all over like shattered glass
Sitting alone, looking down, reflecting, wondering
This empty soul, this lonely heart; aching, sad
Silence too loud; unbearable, this loneliness
Wishing for someone, anyone willing to listen
When no one sees the pain, when no one cares
It breaks a fragile heart; it decimates the soul!
Each day she puts on her best; sweet smiles, crisp laughs
When she sings, her voice takes over to take her pain away!

About this poem:
I wrote this for a beautiful mother, a beautiful wife, an awesome singer who is going through a lot at the moment. When another woman pours her heart out to you and you feel their every pain and anguish because you've been there or it makes you realise that's exactly where you are at that moment; a special bond can come out of it.
There is so much pain, due to unmet needs that creates a feeling of loneliness or at times neglect. She longs to be loved in a manner that resonates to her but the other person insists of loving her the way he wants to. I find many make this mistake; maintaining love is like maintaining a car...you can't put diesel in a petrol-fueled car nor the other way around and expect it to last. To me that's so simple...I don't understand why people can't see it.
It is sad how we have made married- life like it's just a joke. We see everyone of us wearing smiles, posting images of fulfilled lives...family lives especially...when most are broken. This obsession of wearing a facade...I don't get it.
I cried with her; that very moment I understand why she feels alone. I always feel alone and though I am really good at filling my life up with so many things to do and I don't rely on anyone to do the things with in life I totally get her when she said "to have someone to share life with, to have someone to create memories with, to have someone to converse with especially when you are in a foreign land, to have some who shows care and concern, to have people who really do their hardest to connect and make you feel like a significant part of their lives, can make life so much more meaningful and could save a lot of marriages and kids from being victims of broken homes and broken lives". I totally agree with her.

Anger
Depression
What’s In your mind
I need to know
Get out of mine
Do you feel the same
Hope so, don’t think so
Smiling and laughing on face book
Why so much to me
Why so one sided
The age the stature
The looks
The body
My performance
Phantom phone and text
In my mind it excites
Back to reality
Gone
Never coming back
Phone deadly silent
I need
Wait for days
I don’t need
I’m still waiting
Please come back
Where are you
My reflection
No end in sight

Is anybody out there
There there…
What’s wrong with me
This must be
Can’t see beyond Lee
Can anybody help me
Strong I must be
Hope can’t see
Does anyone love me
It can’t be
Look to see
Hidden me
Somebody see
I’m lost ultimately
To be
Lonely

{Every single day I wake feeling low and down
Somethings telling me, the way it needs to be
With no faith in love and lust, she came into my life
She liked me as I am and accepted all my flaws
I gave it all to you made you special number one
Now I’m stuck between two worlds, one where you still here
Back in my own time this feeling cant unwind too near}
{Have you ever in your heart, seen a light so bright its clear
Feeling colors seeing it load, this connection brings to tear
I knew you were the one, you told me not to fear
I believed you when you said, always I will love you feel it here}
{Knowing is the key, I can see how they treat me
I’m never the one able, to be what she needs of me
This enables them giving to rite easy into leaving flight
You promised when to me, he was a distant memory}
{On that happy day you ask me could you go
After making love all day I wanted you to say
On that happy day I should have held you tight in sight
On that happy day I gave you your own way
On that happy day it echoes make you stay}

See me here and tell no lies, of the feelings you have deep inside.
You look at me and all you see, is an object you want to own, how can this be, you say you love me but in your eyes I see, that all you really want is to control me, when I should eat and when I should sleep, this isn't love you feel for me, you just want to control and dominate me, I tell you no and please let me go free, yet you continue to emotional blackmail me, and threaten family if I ever leave, then you tell me your sorry and try to kiss me, once I felt loved that's turned to fear, and all the sweet nothings you whisper in my ear, have no effect cause I know your not sincere, for I now know what you truly are, someone that pretends about feelings and lies who they are, please let me go before it gets to far, be a man let me go or you just might live to regret what I know.

I find myself in this same old place
Feeling way old my usual space
Been here before almost all of my life
Thinking what ifs and feeling like mice
Deadly that silence lurking by shadows
Creeps closer and closer knight arming the gallows
Quiet all around, echo in place
She sounds bright siren sets thunder bolts grace
Voice through void hear pitch clear my love my baby
Accepting my fate, the risk I had to take maybe
Moments with you a martyr lay wait
Can nothing a pedestal I make
Holding with might, the night forsake
Feeling no warmth, a fear I hate
Toughing cold haste still see by blur
Truth sinking feeling abandoned by her
Now all that is left is odor heaven scent
A waking nightmare, tear locked eyes ever bent
Sitting and staring most of time
Pain through the window false whish for my sign
Drops of pure light slice thought face key, memory smile fill, shimmer of three
Avoiding green stew anger to follow stabbing my gut another to be
Spinning in circles loop pity forever
Infinite sadness thick chocking despair disables together
Need to escape unable to move lost in self-doubt, man fits bill
Cornered by loneliness trapped by worlds no sign will
Locked universal a partner be
Hurt waves break tide she is set free
No need to pretend a love once me
Knowing full well you were taking the key
Often, I wonder life probability seen
Patient I delay stepping in stars beam
Scatter and fall light actors final play
I hope one day another might stray
Feeding my love, I will give it away
Not to long now I rock and sway
Whispers lips close soft get near
Transfixed by her gaze kiss tilted neck here
Moving as one unable to fake
I say night mantra, miss you and need you forever future soul mate

The letter lay alone
In a mailbox red with rust
Its loneliness apparent
By the layers of forgotten dust
The envelope tinged yellow
As time wished to show its age
The corners bent and crinkled
As if it tried to escape the cage
But love is not your kingdom
When the castle has no moat
And passion will never sail
When rejection sank the boat
So once again his eyes did cast
Upon the bleak and yellowed note
That lay within the mailbox
Seeming to bear a cruel wry gloat
It bore no stamp or postmark
That sense of barren to the mind
Yet it smelt so slightly scented
The sense of an emotional bind
He clasped it tightly to his chest
In pleading hope of a stirring rush
But love will still lie unrequited
When devotion is a one way crush

Roses 'round the door
That mock me now,
Provoking thoughts of
Yesterday, and how,
We threw away a love
Once strong and true,
And empty rooms resound
With ghosts of you.
I've packed my bags
This final time and yet
I linger in the hall
Lest I forget
The passion and the pain
And days of laughter,
False promise of
A happy ever-after.
The sign says 'sold',
Today, I take my leave
The beauty of the rose,
Belies the loss I grieve,
Their splendour cannot
Lift this leaden hour,
There's nothing sweet in
Love turned winter sour.

About this poem:
Imagine the picture perfect cottage with roses growing around the door and love that once dwelt within now sadly faded, the packing of cases, the feeling of loss and final closing of the door........
