Lost Beyond Reason

Lonliness embraces me,

 

On most days I cry,

 

Still I continue down this long path

 

That takes me no where fast

 

Besides this hopelessness that haunts me

Every day of my life.

Your memories fill my every second

 

Only to remind me that you are gone

 

Now i walk endlessly

 

Down this broken road,

 

Reasons unknown to me

 

Even though I try to remember why.

 

Another missing piece of this puzzle

 

Seems to elude my every thought

 

Only now do I realize

 

Nothing can bring you back alive

Your sorrow is palpable. Especially the perhaps incidental break in the middle.

Nice tribute.

reminds me of my poem, its called "My Lost Love" you should check it out. anyways this was an excellent piece, the longing for their significant other was great. :)

[Amanda Crandall]

yes very sad piece, beautifully written

[Jonathan Bryant Dean]

There is a sorrow to this poem to which I can relate on many levels. The last few lines really touched me deeply.

I also love acrostic poems, but that took a back seat in priority to the meaningfullness of the poem.

Diana, your pieces never seem to disappoint me, and this one was no exception.
Wonderful piece of writing, filled with such sad images, that seems to tuck at the heartstrings.

Brilliant!

Nothing can bring you back alive....

That is such a haunting line...This acrostic is possibly one of the best ones Ive read....A tale well told....

[Jack of Aces]

beautiful sadness
here's a real story in a poem
some poems say next to nothing
but this one has something to say
a pain, a craving, deep and endless
I can dig it

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Now this really hit my emotions hard... wow so beautifully crafted for such a sad write.
