Observe the Pain
My thanks to Cl@re Bear for the great pictures.
Lonely Pain
Rejection. Loneliness. Emptiness. Filled with longing to be loved and sadness at being forgotten. Hand turns to pen to release the pressure from an empty heart.
The sorrow of an empty, loveless marriage causes the heart to swell with loneliness and loss.
The words fill the page while sadness fills the heart and anger enrages the ignored soul.
Before lashing out, I reach out, one last time, in hopes of being seen again.
You ignore me, pretend I am not there. Act as though I am nothing. Reinforce the idea that there is no value in love.
Observe the Pain
Observe the pain
from a distance:
Head throbbing
Rejection replaces passion
Lips longing for
Your touch
Ache to be kissed.
Breasts hang useless
Admiring eyes no longer gaze
At their robust beauty.
They stare dejectedly
at the floor.
Stomach churns
unquenched yearning
dissolves into dread.
Another night
again
alone.
Alone
