HOLLOW AS A HEROIN NEEDLE
We could be each other's detriment
I said and you knew what I meant
Now I'm left here by you to die of cold
A slow, bitter death with no morphine in the end
No drug to quell this pain
I shut myself down to bear this cross
I take a breath and sever my loss
Please don't pull your knife from my chest
It's the only thing keeping me from bleeding to death
Don't pull your poison from my veins
My new drug is this g*ddamn pain
You're a liar, you're nothing but evil
You're hollow as a heroin needle
This pain consumes me, wounds me yet
I cannot let go of what I love
So I'll take another shot of this drug
Slip into oblivion, watch destruction loom on my horizon
I can see the train coming, but I turn away
As always I turn away

Poetry: Without love
by Sandra Lowen
POETRY: WITHOUT LOVE
Without love, the world cannot go ‘round
And lovers’ feet stay on the ground.
Baby kisses
A Feather in the Wind
Love to me is like a feather blowing in the wind
So many times within my reach, yet flying right out
by Tom Zart
WITHOUT LOVE
Life is simply a circus,
With too many fools on the stage.
There 's greed, fear and indifference,
As many hearts
by Lou Ruggieri
Directionless.
I've walked a million miles
In my own and so many other shoes
So many endless and twisting roads
But always
Who needs love anyway?
It's not like love's important
in the whole great scheme of things
Who really needs the closeness
