When others acts push splinters through our souls And into strangers ears we pour our woes.. When grief and sorrow shudder thriough our walls. And whether all is lost we cannot know When what is in or out we cannot tell When fantasy and dream become confused. When darts of agony are felt to maim each cell. When sensibility is utterly bemused. . He ,in whom I to trusted, wills to fail For what he claimed was friendship was desire. Now pain and disappointment make me frail; With torment know this person was a liar. Then, having lost all other means to live, oo We turn to darkness where our consolation is
One thought on “Where our consolation is”

Kathryn, thank you for this poem. I found it moving. Depressing, true, but being poetry lifts it out of that mood and makes it art which always pleases me.
Thank you. I hope you’re well.
