Alone

The days of winter roll by
As do the seconds until I die
Is my end all too near
Or will I live another year

My old frail bones ache in pain
As I watch the pouring rain
The pale gray sky looks down at me
As if to nod and agree

I recall my long lived life
And the passing of my wife
I ‘m in this house all alone
Listening to the thunder moan

Recalling all that I hold dear
Brings to my eye a gentle tear
My life once seemed so very long
Only to find out that I was wrong

All the things I’d wished I done
Or the things I hadn’t begun
Is this how its meant to be
No one here, only me

We spend our whole lives trying to live, only to realize that we don’t know what life is truly about until it is too late.

This is so sad and cold.  You made me feel your heart.  You are not alone, my friend, in written word you are not alone.  A poet's heart is a gathering place ... if the poet dares unlock the chamber.  Enter freely Necro Draconis, enter freely.

I loved it.
No, really.
I guess not enough people think of how other people feel when they're alone.. but that poem portrayed it so well. It gave me a look inside someone else's world and how bad things can look from another side of life.
I applaud you for that outstanding poem.

OUTSTANDING, Necro, OUTSTANDING!!

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
