A solitary woman, <br />One to be observed, <br />Most who view her lonely life, <br />Thinking it absurd. <br />But, it is her heart that is kept intact, <br />No longer subject to the regretful fact, <br />That loving hurts and brings pain, <br />Mistakes repeated over again. So she withdrew, built concrete walls, <br />Now she wanders lonely halls. <br />No more to feel remorse or grief, <br />Closing doors, she sees relief. Tears won't escape the dammed up eyes, <br />Ears won't hear a lover's lies. <br />Lips never opened up to meet, <br />A kiss of passion and it's heat. <br />Hands don't hold or feel or glide, <br />As lover's do lying side by side. No giving or taking, <br />No feeling expressed. <br />All emotions, now put to rest.<br /><br />Maureen Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solitary-woman/
