Quiet Poetry Lounge : Valley of tears

[Anwar Aswad Ami]

Valley of tears

I’m out here on my own
Just to roam and roam
Where is god, and why was I born?
Somebody! Please tell me, why don’t I have a home?

Never knowing happiness
Or what a sweet caress is
Living in this valley
This valley of tears

No one to comfort me from these’s heartaches and pains.
I don’t even have shelter from the spiteful elements, snow and rain.
No loving arms to hold me tight.
Nothing over my head, but the stars and moon at night.

Just a hug or a tender, kiss!
It’s the love that I really miss
I want out of this valley!
I want to stop this misery.

I’ve been here so long
This whole story seems wrong
Living in a place where love don’t flow
I feel like I’m already in Hell below

A house can never ever be no home
If it’s a place where confusion roams?
I rather be out here struggling on my own
Than to live in a place where confusion roam
I hope you never experience the fears.
Out here in this valley of tears........

wow...this
rips through
the emotions...
A valley we've
all walked through

Unfortunately at one time or another, in one way or another, most of us have been in this valley. And you decribed this hellish feeling with such depth.
