Ache

Ache

A Poem by Paul Pruett

Too long have the sorrows of this world built up.
Too long have I lain in bed, one side empty, longing it to be filled.
Too long have i sat staring at a vacant screen wishing to something to fill me.
Too long
Too long have i entreated the Almighty to ease my troubled heart.
Too long have i cried unto Him, for peace, for help, for comfort, for love.
Too long have i felt the seasons change with no one save my own company to share them with.
Too long have i drifted around my house, my life, my world with just my own voice for company.
Too long.
Too long have i reached out only to have no one reach back in return.
Too long have i cried out only to hear the echo my only reply
Too long have i driven down the road of this life, on the verge of crying out in anguish.
Too long has the darkness of the night only be replaced by the dull gray of the days.
Too long.
