My heart beats With the intensity of a maelstrom, Pounding away at this empty ache, Demanding to be filled, demanding To be held Demanding A presence left absent like A pebble on the seashore, small, Insignificant, cold; it aches like a hurricane Ripping apart a tumult inside, Tearing out my heart and tossing it To … More Loneliness: A Poem
