Fading Life Light Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Dying within, screaming silently, no one hearing
these plaintive cries for help.

Subjected to sorrow and sadness in this fading life
light, watching it slowly disappear beyond another
horizon, eventually to be taken to by death, himself.

Seething emotions taking hold, wanting to be heard
from without, people looking on, never hearing or
seeing the pain this heart is going through.

Feeling unloved and uncared for, head hanging in deep
despair, nowhere to turn to, no hand to hold mine
through the turmoil.

Encapsulating the inevitable torture of being abandoned,
alone in this life, pulling the black curtains of grief
around me once more.

No one can see beyond them where I lie, dying within,
screaming silently, no one ever hearing, expiring with
this last breath in a poem.
