there out upon the street laying cold and infirmed troubles abound and pound the heart as he struggles to keep warm and we all pass and barely see almost wish he wasn't there without much thought a thought slips by 'if they only all disappeared'
broken bleeding hearts and minds circumstance overtook their lives perhaps they may have stumbled but some are just knocked down in strife and we all gather at our work we all gather with our peers seems as though we'd not much care if they just disappeared
disappeared
slipping between the cracks the chasms in our hearts falling fast and falling far It all seems just so "hard" but the ailing spirits of our brothers what are they to do?? if no hands reach to give them love who will if not me or you
with dying spirits they try to live like beautiful flowers in the frost desperately seeking some reprieve these, the broken and the lost and more tragic than their lives perhaps a moment to peel back our veneer it may be us who have really lost a heart that's disappeared
disappeared

Oh, I hope that isn't true, that our heart has disappeared. Thank you for the poem. Write to me by e-mail and tell me why it is that you use punctuation in only a couple of places and no capitals. I'm trying to understand the different kinds of poetry that people write. I'm sorry that I do not know how to find your e-mail address on the site yet.
