Strolling through life
Feelings of emptiness
Pieces missing
Of the puzzle
Nothing complete
Hungry heart
Desire to be wanted
Needing embraced
Finding comfort
In a stranger’s arms
Dampers the string
Of loneliness
Shelter in their arms
Easing the vacancy
Lost in the moments
Dawn breaks
Realization
Closing in
Memories invaded
Strangles the mind
Roaming the paths
Pretending
Choices made
Chances taken
Fragments of hope
Emotions flooding
Stumbling down
Tears fit the floor
Like shattering glass
Secrets kept
Words unspoken
Turn around
No looking back
Step forward
Walk away
Guarded heart
Wandering aimlessly
Turning the pages
Making the chapters
Living the story

I had to put that it was fiction, because everyone would think I was having a down day or that something was wrong. My poems are hardly ever about myself, mostly just things that come to my mind about life or someone.
JustCathy- Yes those pesky thoughts, invading a moment of sleeping. Thank you for thinking is to be relevant.
Ronpo1- Insightful and revealing- yes you can probably say that.. I think many have felt this way a few times in life..Thank you
Suzie- Glad to hear you can have fiction in poetry- because mine is usually fiction.. Even if they all mostly ring true about life. Thank you
Onecorgilover- Sheer Brilliance? Well thank ya sistah..
Carolinablue- I have never been told the phrases impact the read like machine gun bursts- though I like that description.. Thank you very much.

Like shattering glass"

Beautiful!!!!!! Rated 10k times if I could!!!
Some of the feelings and reactions to those feelings, are all to familiar. Some are open to interpretation, and I like that.

Monte-Thank you very much
I'm always in awe of poets who can say so much with so few words.
It helps me be a better writer.
