Cold Walls

She cries the loneliness away

And shouts accusations in her head

They echo back into her shadows

And pulse throughout her empty shell

Their voices sound inside her mind

Her quiet pleas are left unheard

T’was such her lonely world

She walks with placid routine

No aimless step wasted

Such beauty, they say, such power

But they hear not the cries in her head

The heavy cloud she carries

The secrets no one knows

All they see is her carefree smile

I’m haunted, she whispers to herself

She returns to her place of solace

Back to the walls who have seen her tears

No warmth in their touch

No words of comfort for the sobs they hear

Such pitiful routine

Such sad regress

Just sleep my darling

And don’t touch the walls

The chills in their touch will creep in your dreams

Just sleep….

I like it. It has a sad feeling.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Strong poem of: loneliness and a heavy-heart is a heavy burden and when the only hope left is hopelessness

[solitare]

Wonderful poetry... intense and powerful. Beautifully sad applaud.

[Branch Isole]

You had me until the last three lines as they completely changed the focus for this reader.

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful and sad poem. The story took the reader in the emotion of sadness and loneliness/desperation.
"Such beauty, they say, such power
But they hear not the cries in her head"
A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

very dark and deep! I love that style. It's like a trip through the recesses of someone's depressed thoughts.
