Abandonment's Pain Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Abandonment's Pain



Tears falling under midnight skies, scrapping against
the rawness of newly acquired abandonment.

Carelessly gave trust away and have been badly hurt
by doing so.

Unqualifyingly hurt deep within, set ablaze, totally
betrayed, afraid to go any further.

Sitting sadly down beside life's pathway to the future,
refusing to go another step further.

Life has ended here, there are no more days, hours or
minutes left.

Having switched into reverse, never moving forward again.

Isn't it a singular blessing that we have poetry to be the vehicle and container of such thoughts as these. If they were JUST bouncing around inside your head, they could do so much damage to composure, efforts, dreams. As it is, the speaker of the poem has reached her nadir. She is at a threshold of giving up, all that is left is waiting...What comes next will either be more of the same downward movement, or some kind of heart-healing. I can only hope her ordeal is at an end and the healing will begin.
