A sunny bright day,
children come out to play.
i meet my new friends,
and talk to the day’s end.
This new life of mine,
it really is fun,
however, i think of the past,
and wish to run.
Why do i feel so alone,
even with kindred souls?
for some reason i think of home,
and i walk on hot coals.
The sky darkens,
and i put down the phone.
the water drops from the sky,
and i exit to the streets alone.
Walking down the roads,
remembering times good and bad.
i’m the last left,
feeling both happy and sad.
Quiet screams,
and i won’t listen.
my pace then
always quickens.
My old friends
lie in the ground.
i stand here,
and don’t hear a sound.
The days slow,
seconds become hours.
the past lives,
full of enraged powers.
If there is a Hell,
i know the feel.
this is the smell,
it must be real.
I don’t feel a thing,
so i stop remembering.
i simply enjoy the rain,
the solitude with no pain.
Is it right?
is it wrong?
is it here
that i belong?
To you i say,
walk alone in the rain,
long ago i lived like this,
i still don’t know “sane”
These thoughts come floating back,
as i enjoy my singularity.
nothing i lack,
in this familiarity.
Leave me be,
in the peace and silence.
now i hope and see,
done and gone is the violence.
People are nice,
once in a while,
but alone i belong,
here i wear the smile.

I was just sitting and thinking…solitude is nice…you lose your sanity quick, but there are benefits. =P Just look at what I can do now! I love not having to deal with other people.

I wrote this when i was reminiscing (hope that's spelled right) about things i've done and the people i've done them with. I love and hate it so much. I am what i am because of it. Thanks for the comments.

solitude is certainly a splendid thing unlike loneliness its the choice to be alone, both worlds apart, I liked the comparison you have described between the two. Well done, interesting write. Cheers lola.l
