Abused

Poem Artwork

Hope’s last glimmer fades to black
Faith dissolves into a pool of despair
The heart yearns for kindness
To be touched with loving care
Isolation consumes the soul
Alone in the shadow of darkness
Surrounded by wanting hands
Never intimate in their caress
Greedy in the taking
Decimating all self respect
Leaving nothing but regret
Is there nothing more?

copyright – Michael R. Wood - 2003
