{{{{{{ How far More Lonely I can Be }}}}}}

I’m terribly lonely with you, Yet…
Even more lonely without you

Can one choose between two degrees of loneliness
And sacrifice one for the other?
But is it a sacrifice??
To step between the boundaries of the self
And search inside for the lofty loneliness
That immerses that same self
And make of it two lodgings
For two degrees of loneliness
Though they are the same…..

Could we lodge one loneliness
And leave the other??
Unattended….Uncared for
Though they are the same….
Only one is more daring
Than the other
And can stand in the presence of the other
Can yawn and stretch itself
Can test its power ……On me…

And as I stand silently
Bearing all that lonely loneliness
You came along, to show me…
How far more lonely I can be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you


It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

It's tough to be lonely and all alone or even in a crowd of strangers... but we always know we can alleviate that loneliness with some effort. *S* The loneliness is somehow tougher to bear when we're with someone we thought would erase that loneliness forever and they close off from us... no effort is enough. Well written, MEM.

~Ron~
It is certainly sad to be that lonely.....but some people especially poets (not boasting to be one) usually have such a keen sense that makes them feel things more strongly and that's perhaps the problem....

But don't worry...... It was a moment that passed.

Thank you....dearly....
=====================
~suthern~

loneliness seems to be just a big burden when you expect it to go away.....

I sincerely thank you for feeling in such a way....

========================
~Sven~
No one should ......and no one hopefully would for long......
But as I explained in my reply to Ron.....Poets seem to sense it and paint it deeply.......won't you agree?  

Thank you dearly

Yes, I also know this feeling. I'm glad it has passed for you. Another beautiful work. I am truly going to read every one of your poems I have missed. How did I miss them anyway???
Peace

very interesting poem,filled with much truth
         take care

no longer afraid of the dark
       or mid day shadows  
nothing so ridiculously
     teenage and desperate
