Alone (in a busy place)
Surrounded by hustle and bustle
I look about for a certain someone
although I know you're not here
Champagne corks popping
party goers in good cheer
Glasses clink, couples clinch
as they greet another year
Volume rising; a happy din
Meanwhile I blink back a tear
of disappointment you're not able
to celebrate our wonderful year
together, at my side, at this table
my constant companion I revere
our relationship without a 'label'
so warm and loving; that is clear
I feel alone amidst this rabble
unable to raise a glass and cheer
in the New Year without a cuddle
from the one I hold so dear.

Thank you dearest Brenda, much as I celebrate the passing of the year and look forward to the new and it's challenges .I used my quiet time today to reflect on the fact that I am missing someone close to my heart right now.

I hear you sweet lady. Just the emotion of the New Year when you look for that special person you want to hold and they're not there. Damn I missed you. :(

I was out last night with a friend commiserating the new year as his wife passed recently. I feel for you DR

Thank you Liah for your kind words. It is a feeling none of us truly relish experiencing. Dx

Thank you so much for the read and comments. I have been doing a fair amount of 'soul searching' in my recent writing as you may have read. :-)
Glad you are back (hugs) David xx

Creates vivid imagery in my mind, and a vivid expression of your feelings of loneliness. I enjoyed your poem, nice writing!
