Alone.
Her one desperate desire was to not be alone.
Wrapped in despair, tears fall.
You left her for another…
And now she’s alone again…
Will she ever be whole?
Bring her back, reel her in,
Soothe her broken mind.
Touch her heart, take in her eyes,
Soothe her broken soul.
Your obnoxious mind does wander,
Misclassifying her angst for you.
Her darkened life has expired and
Her cerebral words confuse you…
Did you think to let her in?
Mystic thoughts, She’s such a scrutinizer,
And she paid the piper his price.
She torched her need for you,
So that her nightmare would end.
Author notes
My high school sweetheart, my hope for a real chance at life, left to be with some other girl he had a crush on in high school. Am I alone again?
I used the word bank and the photo.

Absolutely stunning. I really liked the way this poem was very personal and I can totally relate to this poem. I just now started talking to my crush that I had in high school, but we are going to see where that goes. Thanks for entering the contest and the best of luck to you. Kahy
