Whispers In The Dark

I am not alone,
Yet I feel isolated.
I am not blind,
Yet I cannot see.

I am not loved,
Yet my heart is sore.
I am not missing,
Yet I don't feel here.

Whispers in the dark,
are what keep me awake.
Images that haunt the night.

Voiceless words spoken,
In ears that don't hear sound.
Tumbling around, and around.

I am not lonely,
Yet there is no one there.
I am not broken,
Yet I don't feel whole

Whispers in the dark,
Haunt my dreams at night.
Though I lay there awake

Author notes

Ok well I did two at once. I finished the poem(I am not alone,
Yet I feel isolated.
I am not blind,
Yet I cannot see.) using a title(Whispers in the dark) prompt. I hope you like it.... I do.......... And if you don't like the background let me know.

    The background is fine. It's the bright ones or really busy ones (like the same picture tiled over and over again and it covers the whole page including where the words are) that I don't like.

    And I like it when poets use more than one option. It shows creativity or a time when their muse attacked

    I liked this. Definitely kept me reading the whole time. Love how the end tied everything together. Good job. Thank you.

    How has no one commented on this poem yet? Feelings of two conflicting emotions is something i think everyone wrestles with...and you're loved so hopefully i make it better

    love,
