Alone in this house
the emptiness surrounds me
the silence...
terrifies me
Author notes
YOUR PROMPT~FROM THE HEART CAME TRUTH
truth from my heart....
Alone... In my family's big old house. A rarity... There's usually always someone here.... and the silence... Terrifies me... Only because I've never had opportunities to be utterly alone...Ever...my entire life.

yet silence can be such a beautiful thing.
But i know what you mean..
physically and emotionally speaking,
sometimes silence can be terrifying,
but its beautiful.
...Simply Me♥ -
this I can very much relate too..
I like to be alone around other people really..
If that makes any sense..lol.. It seems like it ends up that way most of the time though..lol. You did a wonderful job..
Best of luck..

Good Luck in the contest! ♥♥♥♥ -
You have some finely crafted lines with some very interesting thoughts flowing down the page here. I enjoy my alone time, but then they are few and far between. I tried to imagine what it might be like to have lived a life where I was almost never alone. I think I'd be locked up now if that happened.
Thank you for sharing and best wishes to you in all of your endeavors. Keep that pen handy and ever ready for use dear poet.

Thank you so much!
I enjoy being alone with someone around...If that makes sense..Like someone is still in the same house, but I'm by myself in a different room.. I just like knowing someone is always there.. and I know God's always with me...but I find comfort in the physical presense of a person.
Haha! Maybe I'm as crazy as I am because I've never been alone... Hmm... definitely a thought!
Thanks so much for commenting and best wishes! Means a lot!

I love the simplicity of this. I know the feeling dear when I am home alone I lock the door, I will play music or the tv just so it isn't so quite. and yet I love being alone and having quite, too. Guess I am a little strange.
but what we both have to remember is we are never really alone, God is always there with us. Doesn't keep me from panicking sometimes but is always comforting when I remember.
I love you precious

I totally agree. We're never truly alone. And I love how God is always there for me.
You know. I'm like that too.. Like.. I like peace and quiet... but with someone that if I need they're like where I couold yell or something and they'd come running... but being utterly "alone" with no where there... Scary... *shudders*
I did do something crazy, though today to keep my mind off it... I took my radio into the bathroom... turned it up waaaaay loud, took a shower.. sang while in there (I never get to do that)! Haha it was crazy.. Lol But i enjoyed myself.

doesn't sound that crazy to me. I love to sing when I'm alone, especially in the car. I've been known to talk to myself too. it's a good way to get through chores too.

I have often felt alone as well and you have captured the alone feeling in this so beautifully and sadly that i felt the emotions within it. well done cousin

Thank you my sweet cousin . I think everyone experiences this.. I honestly hate being alone and silence with a passion.

-
within the silence there lies a silence and fear is but a dream...you have given your fears a name little one...silence...
