Heartache felt
Across the world, the land
Will everything be right
Again?
No remorse, only sorrow fills
The body of the man
Lost to the family he once loved
In his home, his homeland.
No more laughter fills the air
Only fracture, anger, loneliness
Despair
Misery shared.
The kiss of love turned to death
Same tomorrow
No future
No one cares.

Let me be alone to wallow
In the sacrifices
I thought I needed to be free
No sudden anger, no hallowed ground
Just loneliness, sadness
These friends I seem to keep
Around.

Patrice Clarkson – 2017
Agonizing, difficult regret
Struggling to understand
Just what I did to regret
For no soft heart opens up
Or holds me close
Only solitude, loneliness
Are at my command.
Life of near and far away
Feels trodden upon
No joy to lift me up
No smile that helps me stand
Only agonizing, difficult regret
Struggling to understand.
