    ALONE

    Alone.
    To feel my pain,
    to lick my wounds
    with no explanations
    for my tears,
    with no apologies
    for my anger.

    Alone.
    To concentrate on me,
    to mend my heart
    with no demands
    on my time,
    with no obligations
    to anyone.

    Oh, to be alone.
    To not have to talk
    or smile or laugh
    if I don't want to.

    Just me and my pain,
    Alone.

    You put MY sentiments (especially for last night and today) into beautiful words that resonate with me. That's what I love about poets...we're all quite the same on the inside. :) GREAT READ. I'm a fan! ~Sandy

    this left me feeling an echo in the hollowness of my heart which i imagine is how you must feel.....very well written......real and honest.

    This is perfect poetic sadness. This phrase speaks to my soul: "Oh, to be alone. To not have to talk or smile or laugh if I don't want to"—Yes!!! Bravo!

    Thank you for your critique.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
