Click hereI’m lonely today, my heart hurts a tad.
I’m not sure why I’m suddenly sad.
The world seems gray, cold and hollow,
My soul bare and I suddenly swallow.
Alone again, lost and confused.
No longer knowing what path to use.
Pulling one way, seeing the truth.
No longer feeling the joys of my youth.
Taking the step, the one I can’t see.
Giving up on the future of him and me.
Staring into the dark, looking away.
Wondering when this life will finally stray.
Deep in depression, a shattered heart lives.
Trying to gauge when I’ll finally give.
Losing myself, in the arms of a friend.
Though he’s miles away, I like to pretend.
He’s with me now, though I can’t see his face.
His loving arms, are my redeeming grace.
Calling to me, his voice like a rock.
Solid and steady, painful he’s not.
He’s told me to write when I’m feeling blue.
Told me to tell him, what I’m going through.
But the words were cast away once in flight.
Now I know that nothing is right.
So my words lie here, covered in ink.
As my heart lies open, leaving me weak.
Though he is near, and deep in my soul.
My thoughts will continue to make me whole.
For I’ve learned a great lesson from my past
No one is able to cleanse all the glass.
Shattered pieces of dreams gone by
Lay in the air, and blacken the sky.
So I’ll write the words that flow from within.
He’ll only see and continue to grin.
For he’ll neglect to see the words that I write.
Words of pain and rarely delight.
Is that your anthem
In the last line,
"Words of pain and rarely delight?"
Perhaps not ~ I do recall
A few more positive writes...
because you have voting and public comments open, i will comment on your writing, but only a little. i'd limit the use of the word 'suddenly', each time it is used it loses impact. and i'd also limit the use of the word 'so'. otherwise, this is an interesting poem and the rhyme seems to work (in my opinion).

Yet it needn't be, when sad thoughts wrap you tight, close your eyes and with all your might, think of friends who read your words in still of night, mayhap this will still your gloom, and in your mind the flowers of love will bloom. Thank You. Ronnie W
