The night has swallowed
Me, apparantly,
As I am
Surrounded by darkness.
I cant even see
My hands
When I hold them
Inches from my face.
I cant hear
Myself when I
Yell for someone, anyone.
Thats when I notice
That it is quite cold here
In this darkness.
And the more I
Think about it,
The colder it gets.
I dont even recall
How I came to be
So alone.

Your not alone when you belong to Passions.
You have all of us here.

Sami,

Very introspective write. If you truly are lonely, I suspect it won't last long, as there are many fine folks here at Passions. Take care.

I think the ending is my favorite part of this poem, simpily because you've captured how we often don't realize where we're heading until we're there.
Nice, Sami

I liked this too. But I wonder, why you are so cold and alone. Joyce

The cold and the darkness were tangible. Reminds me of a night I spent camping...if I had put it into words as succinct as yours.

wow, thank you all for the nice comments!! i feel like i should explain this a little...i wrote it because an ex told me that im too scared to be alone...it made me angry that he said that so this is kind of a way to prove to him that i know what its like to be alone to me.....dont know, but i dont think i proved him wrong

Sami~ I think I have ventured into this sort of fear, in times past. It's not a pleasant place to be, but oh how much more do I love the light of day now!
Very well written!
