standing in the ally
staring at the car lights
feeling the rain upon my head
i could no longer touch my heart
i wanted to reach out to you
i felt only the cold rain
the loneliness i felt is beyond expression
i saw the rain reflect the light
reminding me of the glimmer in your eyes
thinking back into the past
when i didn’t feel so empty
so lost
so alone
so unloved

I like this a lot. This is my favorite post of yours!
I like the picture you created and you have done so with little words.
I also really like how this ended; "so empty, so lost, so alone, so unloved."
Well done.
Mike always likes the really depressing ones.
You are never alone my friend.
thanks guys. this was actually written in maybe 1989. i have had some bad times, as all of us have, and i have been very low. but, yes darren, you are right, we must move forward and see all that we are blessed with here and now. but sometimes those feelins (loneliness ans self doubt) creep up and smack you in the face when you are not looking to be smacked. i am very blessed with a lovely wife, who for some strange reason, does love me and would never leave me alone and empty. also, as i am seeing, i have some very good friends who would not leave me alone and empty either. thank you.
