“LONELINESS BECAME MY NAME”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Loneliness is my first name, and sadness is my friend,
I live in my painful world,
wondering when the hurt will end…
The day that I was born, they said ‘BC’ was my name,
but now I ponder why it’s changed,
am I the one to blame…

I found togetherness just a word, but one with much meaning,
it was two people living together,
but were they really seeing…
The things that were happening, when harsh words were spoken,
like love slowly dying,
as two partners became heartbroken…

So again I lie here this morning, in this very cold bed,
I couldn’t sleep last night,
my eyes hurt, they were all red…
I remember when they were very soft blue, and clear,
when I gazed into yours,
as we held each other so near…

But now the feelings are gone, sadness took over my life,
I wonder if it will ever let go,
letting me live without this strife…

Perhaps I can change things, but will it ever be the same,
I don’t really know, for it’s different, and it’s changed,
I wonder if it happened, when
“Loneliness Became My Name”…

This peom expresses the feeling well, well done.

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

And in your dreams an angel
by the gentle name of hope
shall hold you softly though the night
shall give you strength to cope

Shall whisper of a love
that was meant only for you
and in the dawn you'll find
this promise just for you.



*Nice write!


To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday.

You captured the hole emptiness can create in an instant when someone you love is gone. Key is to fill the hole until it is covered, and the lonliness is buried, along with some memories. Very bittersweet, and well done.

You have a sad and lonely writing and alot of us feel at one time or another. Life does go on and you should too.

BillCharles~

When loneliness comes to call
and does not find you there
It will move on down the street
looking for another heart to wear

Be out and about
when it searches for your regret
It will not know your name
unless you let it


Very emotive penning, poet.
