PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am surrounded by people, but I feel all alone.

No one to talk to, no ring on my phone.

This loneliness fills me, seeking release

All I want is to be at peace.

But no, that can not be.

I think I will always feel lonely.

There are so many reasons to cry

So many reasons I feel I have to die.

All around me I see couples holding hands,

and I wonder when I'll have someone to hold MY hand.

When will my loneliness end?

When will this pain come to it's end?

The tears behind my eyes--they threaten to fall

And I am reminded of when I felt I had it all.

Back then I wasn't lonely,

Back then I was free to be me.

But now I suffer with this pain inside of me,

This unrelenting agony

of being alone in a crowd of many

with this pain that is threatening to consume me.

The tears pool in my eyes,

as I give up and part of me dies.
