Alone, Always Alone

by Michael


The stars have lost their lure.
The night no longer sings.
It's only blackness,
filled with tiny, icy lights
that no longer beckon.

Alone, always alone,
he knows the darkness permeates
and feeds on him.
Alone, he knows that sadness does the same.
It's become a symbiotic relationship
and the only way he knows.

His thoughts are crippled,
yet each day he rises
to squint against the glare
of another sun
and goes on,
because this is life

and this one's

his.

Oh Michael, please don't feel so sad and lonely. I know this place, I live there most of the time also.
Take care.

Michael,

   Warm warm hugs to you my friend.  I hate to see you feeling so lonely. You have such a sweet and loving heart.  
   The poem..although sad.. is wonderful. As you told me many times... writing will help heal wounds.

I need a darn quote. *chuckles*

"Starry, Starry night"
Do you remember Don McLean's song about Vincent Van Gogh? Maybe thinking of this song will be some small comfort on those lonely nights. I know it often helps me. Even though it has a sad hue, your poem is beautiful...as you.

Beautifully written, but so sad. There's always light after the darkness though. May it shine brightly for you

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Everyone, thank you.  I am fine, just having a bad day...well, make that, year.  It began on a sad note and only got all the more so.  I know it will get better though.  If not this year, then surely the next.  My best to you all.

Michael
