Tired and distant
Weak and wanting
A world full of people
Lying in solitude.
The pain grows daily
In that I'm not alone
Yet here I lie
In deafening silence.
Family has past
Friends are now strangers
My only remaining solace
Words have yet to fail me.
In time that too will fade
As my strength fails me
My will all but gone
Lying here, weak and alone

- Comment from author about the poem: It's been a while since my last poem, 2 heart attacks and an infection from the hospital later. On the road to recovery finally. I learned how many friends I longer have and despite being married with kids, that I'm alone in my own home. Iv been the pillar for friends in need throughout the years and been the best husband and father I can be. When you do your best, what can you do when it all falls apart

Time comes to us when we are ready to reflect upon the meaning of it all. Seems you are wondering through this now. Hopefully you have a faith to secure you.
However, there are many who have survived what you are going through these days and they will welcome you with warmth and understanding.... as you will to them. For there is something to be said for the camaraderie of survivors. Life changes, as do we.
Very true, change is forever happening. It would be so much nicer and less painful to have a reset button when you hit the low points that came from giving so much, only to find so little in return. Years wasted....... Or maybe there is a lesson I'm not seeing just yet
I think it is within your nature if you are a giver - to give. And having given, you are fulfilled. I doubt you ask for much, though you may well be going through a spell of disappointment at the moment.
As a believer in reincarnation i doubt also that any years are actually wasted. Rather, they are a period of learning. The lesson learned may not become apparent for some time, but will surely be revealed to you eventually. Please read my "dont ask me why" published today.
Painful realization of actuality, for now is the time to live for yourself for there are many if not most that will empathize with you.
Iv spent so long living for others.... Time will tell how I can manage changing to myself
That loneliness can be helped by writing words as it does for many of us.
May the troubles of your life be behind you and your words show you the way forward into a new life.
