Why

This was written for a friend that was going through rough time just to let her know I felt her pain and to let her know she was not alone.

Breath
.
.
Breath
Here I am
Left with only
My emptiness filling the void
Seeming I lost myself again
Missing the part of me you held

Feeling so small
Unable to find shelter in your arms
Taking on a world alone
Just not sure I can make it
Alone.
.
.
Alone, the thought starts sinking in
Reality of my fears
I have to remain strong
No one can know I am so weak
Without you by my side

Wondering where is my happy ending
Grasping to memories of better days
Faded wishes I would never know this grief
Words and promises that were whispers
Lay echoing on these walls

Too ashamed to pray
For someone to take away this pain
Unsure where to go from here
The answers are just so unclear

Finding myself in that place
That God and man
Can never see eye to eye
Us just asking why

Argh, I hate that feeling.
The support you once had, once trusted, were so sure of,
taken away so abruptly it takes ages to sink in.
Trying to stand alone is impossible, you just fall :(

I think you have conveyed this empty, powerless feeling very well Robert.
I particularly enjoy your use of photos :D

I would also like to apologise for my lack of reviews.

perfect line, I don't know how this one slipped by me but it is a very strong poem, you are very talented Mr. Luna

[Carey Edelman]

Something that we can all relate to. The feeling of isolation after feeling so safe. Great job.

I myself have felt too ashamed to pray before. Wonderful piece here.

[Barry S. Maltese]

So very sad. There is nothing so lonely than that feeling that we are facing the world alone. Not that it can not be done, but the emptiness that comes with that pain is just so sad.
Great job. I can feel the sorrow that fills the hole left behind. The need to be loved.

Such a sad, tearful piece.

Feeling so small
Unable to find shelter in your arms
Taking on a world alone
Just not sure I can make it
Alone.

This you have described ALONE. a feeling that seems to be my best friend lately. Taking on a world alone.... feeling this is just terrifying to say the least.

This is so sad, you have gotten that across in your writing. I do love this piece, as sad as it makes me feel, but that's why I love your writing, you tend to bring out my emotion in your own words.
Thank you for sharing,
Kates
