A terrible void in the desolate night as the cold wind howls
Nagging pain in the pit of my belly as my stomach growls
The light of a once glorious day has lost its warmth and glow
Taste is a memory all sensory has been slow
Fragrant blooms bask in the sunlight unnoticed
Cracks in the side walk seem to frame my fist
Reaching for the phone and not knowing who to call
Deciding no one's worth it, so damn them all
Dampened pillow cases thrown about in the night
Squirm and writhe in my bed I can't get it right
Morning comes with eyes open lying there confused
Which direction takes me away from being accused
Not able to move, barely able to cry searching for the strength
It's just a trip into harsh circumstance, I will not suffer this at length

Poetry: Hurting
by Parin Waljee
I have been hurting all these year's
Feeling the pain and the loneliness,
Life has to go on I suppose but Im sure you don't
by Lauren Dymke
Felt tip fingers softly, softly
Why is it your insides bleed, loved one?
Ache and heart hiccup.
You were never meant to
This pain was but a sword,
unsheathed but lying on the floor,
until I picked it up
and embraced its blade
so tight, so tight.
To the Father
Where have you been, why did you go away?
I have a picture of you…I was tempted to throw it away.
For
by Missy Terry
I closed my eyes one night
With tears flowing down my face
They were warm to the touch
But the warmth was not comforting
