To be alone at the end of the day,
no hand to hold, no words of love,
an empty bed surrounded by darkness
reanimating old memories of love.
Each day I awake wondering why
loneliness invades so many waking hours,
creative juices sometime flow and I write,
feed the birds, hug my cat, sadly sit alone.
Nothing can replace the human touch, warmth
radiating between two people who love,
enjoy companionship, conversation,
a little love at the end of the day.
Isolation became comfortable
so I sit and I write the words of love,
loneliness and sorrow wait to appear
in the darkness of the night time hours.
Where will I find this special love
this sincere, warm, and honest man,
closing my eyes the darkness surrounding
hopelessness seems to be my only companion.

wow.
this was well written. the piece flowed very well and had a depth of emotion in it. the air to the poem was slightly soft and calming, but htere was an undertone of longing and confusion... your emotions are heartfelt!
I personally liked the last line
"hopelessness seems to be my only companion."
because it was... different! I love differences... everybody's different. at least, that is what they all are forced to tell me >.> <.<
well done! -
Loneliness is such a silent word, my love
For it speaks of nothing in return.
Please read my poem entitled loneliness.
I wrote it because we truly are never alone! You have friends, family both here and in the afterlife.
All of us feel lonely sometimes, but in reality all we are feeling is 'aloneness'. Big Difference to feeling lonely.
Love & Best Wishes

Beautiful. I think that we have all felt like this at one point in time. Sometimes being alone is best, it gives you time to get your life straight and to explore all sorts of things. I hear skydiving is fun! Well, keep up the good work and i hope you find the right one!

Wow, this poem hit me so strongly just now when I read it. It holds so much truth and understanding on just what you're missing. Nothing can replace an honest love of another person in this life.
"creative juices sometime flow and I write,
feed the birds, hug my cat, sadly sit alone."
I LOVE those lines...trying to keep occupied, but the mind wandering back anyway. This is beautiful...somber, but beautiful.
