Lonesome

This poem has a very special meaning for me. It was written during a very stressful time in my life and the style if not the words reflect the disarray that took over. There is little rhyme or reason that was planned in this and it makes it all the more meaningful for me. It isn’t very often that I let my poetry simply flow out with no specific theme in my mind to convey. This time I simply wanted to find out what exactly was bothering me, so I let my emotions do the writing. I hope that it holds some meaningfor you andI’d love to hear your response.

Lonesome

My feelings fade within me.
I’m losing touch with reality,
and it seems like you don’t care.
You don't listen to my words,
you don'tspeak to me anymore.
I’m tired of being ignored!
I just want to know I’m loved
by you, or anyone that I love too.
Family fights, and friendships fade
it seems like love can never stay.
No wonder that I feel like this;
I’m trapped in darkness, away from the warmth of life.
Cold skin, cold face, cold eyes, cold heart,
everything I love is torn apart.
My soul turned black, my heart like stone
I feel I’m destined to live alone.
I can’t hold love, I can’t hold hate
I can’t seem to accept my fate.
The stress of life drove me here
where at least I feel no fear
and I no longer feel the pain
I am alone, no one to see,
no one to share my misery.
