I feel the same. My husband passed away a year and a half ago. Life has lost it's meaning for me we were married for 48 years. I know I should be grateful to be alive and enjoy the beauty around me but it has lost it's meaning.

And Yet I Die

by Marilyn

I see the stars sparkling so bright,
Within the moon kissed sky.
I hear the lark so sweetly sing,
Amidst the morning dawn.
I smell the flower full in bloom,
And see their royal pomp.

And yet some place so deep within,
I'm shrouded and I'm closed.
The brilliance there I can't see,
In mists of misery.
Enshrined inside, unable thus,
To touch the warmth without.

I gaze upon this passion spent,

And yet . . . Inside I die.

i loved your poem and i think that it relates to a tme in everybodys life when they feel lie they have no friends and they feel like nobody likes them. I went through this time when i was about 10 and i would ask people to be my friend and they would say no but i would ask and ask and pretty soon they would just start to hate me so I feel your pain.
