Without Love: was written years ago, but relevant today

Ally! Thank God you write in your note that these were written a long time ago cause DAMN they make my heart rend in two and ears to pour from my eyes! I can SO empathize with the feelings you express so eloquently. One day I hope I will find someone who will love me for all of who I am and will allow me to love them as well without worrying about what gender either of us are. Despite the difficulties I have NOT given up hope!

Without Love

So many ways,

to love one another;

To show that we,

care for each other.

The help of a friend,

the trust of a mother;

The care of a sister,

the touch of a lover.

So many kinds,

of love I see;

So many places,

but none for me.

We all need love,

to keep us alive;

And without true love,

we can not survive.

To be without love,

leaves one bitter and cold;

It withers your soul,

makes you feel old.

I’ve lived without love,

for as long as I can;

And now my soul,

is not one of a man.

It’s but an empty shell,

of what I used to be;

All this anguish,

for there’s no love left to me.

It has dried up,

like an untended field;

Burned out by drought,

no crop will it yield.

For I am without love,

alone with my fears;

And now I must rest,

and drown in my tears.
