Friendless Battle

My feelings are in express Of the unfathomed inside myself I find that I am in pain Of a friendless battle alone Lost I seem to wander Going from one spot to another But I am not emotionless I just am in painful spouts Feeling alone can hurt more Than anything else, a wound That carries much more salt Than it does a cool gentleness Hot stabbing pain enters me From all corners of my heart For alone I am in this life And no one to care about me But even more than that No one that I can care about This emptiness grown more Each day it rips me apart Till I feel the gapingness of it And nothingness abounds inside This hollow soul rests scathed And bothered by the endless Rattles of this unfriendly Earth Battling the demons of my past As well at the loss of future hope That I may find somewhere a friend… Russell Sivey

I hope this is based in fiction. Although I know the pain you speak of it is not yours, I hope. Your understanding of the pain is so real I find it hard to tell . Take care my friend.
