That Empty Feeling. Poem by Sandra Feldman

That Empty Feeling.

Rating: 4.5


When you get,
That empty felling
That nothing matters
Much,
Something
Deep within
Has broken
Has also died,
Keeping you
Out of touch,
Making loneliness
More bitter,
Making Life
A silent, crutch!
Then you know
That something's
Really wrong
And broken,
That time will
Never heal,
And it hurts
So very much.

Sandra, as sad as your poem is, it is still very much a catharic release for me. My dear friend, my heart goes out to you for your hurt. I sincerely thank you for having the courage to share it with us.

Sadly, one experiences those moments a little more frequently in the retirement years. I can't emphasize enough how much 'my second family at Poem Hunter' has been a cathartic body of support.
