Dying of Loneliness
By Scarrzz
Unable to withstand
the onslaught of loneliness
I yearn for a touch
from outside myself
Taste of an apple
too long on the ground
Fallen, unwanted
'till even the core is dry
Birds pass by
flowers grow near
none can see me
for I am within
with only the rain
to moisten my soul

Very dramatic. I enjoyed this because of its depth woven into seemingly simple terminology. Thank you for sharing and congrats on poem of the day. :)

I'm honored that you find it so. This was where I began my descent. I looked and thought I found. I dared to hope again. I chose unwisely. It would have killed me were it not for my love for those that cared about me. I live because I refused to hurt them, not for myself. I pray someone nourishes you with water and love, but choose that person wisely, because you will be giving them power to destroy you as well as save you.

Yearn for a touch outside myself...great line. Very vivid and descriptive in such a small amount of words. I see desperation in this work, too. Loneliness will do that to you, make you desperate for a touch, any touch, it doesn't even have to be sweet as long as its real. I really really like this one Schley.
