Being Alone
It’s like when you turn around
And there’s no one to be found
Nobody is there
After a nightmare of fright
That awakes you in the night
Nobody is there
When sadness gives a heavy sigh
And mostly, when you cry
Nobody is there
When you need someone to pair with
And a partner just to share with
Nobody is there
When you feel you’re on the shelf
And you start fighting with yourself
Nobody is there
When depression is alarming
And you feel like self harming
Nobody is there
From daylight into darkness
In the cold, bleak and starkness
I am alone with nobody there

This is painful to read... the loneliness deeply felt...
We all need someone to hold us when life gets tough...

very true, strangely I enjoy my own company but it's when things get tough that I do feel the need for others :-) thank you for the read and the wise words :-)

Really feel the sadness here.
I wish I could convey to you how much I wish it were different.
The climate is cold and riddled with
Hydra leaving everywhere full and empty simultaneously.
A good soul only feels the emptiness.
A very sad piece that I feel deeply.
Love
Miki

Your poem triggered a remembrance of a longish phase in my life when it was similar, and also an appreciation that things are now different. Take care, Josh.

What an empty sadness this is, David. It's akin to a penny dropping in the well as a wish, only to find rock at the bottom.
I agree with Grace in that it permeated loneliness.

that's a great description of the well - if like Grace you felt the loneliness then the poem has done its job :-) thank you for the read and your comments :-)

I feel this with you David...it causes an ache while reading...I have been in every stanza so that being said...you are not completely alone. Tons of hugs sent your way my friend...perhaps I shall post one that has been sitting...unsure as to whether or not I wanted it up there...this may have just been the push I needed to do so...

thank you so much for your understanding, that means a lot. I have a rule only to post what I am comfortable with personally. People on here know more about me than some family members do and I am ok with that. so if you are going to post something always be sure that you want it out there, that can be a tough call sometimes:-) thank you for the kind words and of course the hugs - sending you ehugs right back at ya :-)

I loathe being alone. Too much alone time and idle time makes this mysterious lady get into trouble. Thats when the voices come out. Love to David on this one sugar. <3
