Pain Of Being Alone :: Whiteraven :: Original Poetry

Pain Of Being Alone

It hurts unceasingly this loneliness

that surrounds me like an unbreachable wall.

Dark shadows hang forever over my heart,

encaged in bleeding steel.

No light of love to turn my night to day.

no warmth of desire to thaw this freezing heart.

Will this wounded love ever be healed?

Will loneliness fester forever?

Will I ever escape this need to love, and be loved,

touch and be touched?

I was born alone I’ll die alone,

in this world I shall remain alone.

Those I love return it not,

undesired and alien I remain alone.

Destined to be as I am; alone

never to find love again.

Tempestlady commented on Pain Of Being Alone 01-01-2010: I was told once that when we become comfortable with our own company then we are truly healthy. I don't know whether that is true or not, all I know is that the more time i spend alone, the more groups and crowds aggravate me. The society in which we live seems to foster independence and isolation. Where once we would gather at game rooms and malls. Now we have it all at home and find few reasons to venture out among others. Almost as if those in power prefer it that way. It makes for a very lonely culture, and lonely people. You are among many with these feeings of hopeless loneliness. It s becoming an epidemic in this ever changing world. I volunteer, still go to local high school football games, enter walks and runs etc. still offers of friendship that are not in the virtual world are few and far between. Remember to look inside, not on the outside, see the motivations of others actions and deeds. She is out here, likely looking for you just as despirately and not ever knowing she has your other rib.

Whiteraven 01/04/2010: Tempestlady, I have always had feelings of being alone. Even when I thought I was part of it turned out I was really alone. When I was a child I felt that I wasn't really part of my family, then at forty I found out I was adopted. They lied to me abouit everything. All the women I have been with eventually left me because I was not a conformist and had my own ideas. I lived on the streets for a long time and never really fitted into anyone group. I am a Christian but modern religion has become big businees and nothing but lessons on how to get what you want out of God. I am a Libra and weight everything. I have always felt like I am outside looking in. The only thing in life right now that amzes me is my children. When I look at them I am awed. My daughter is so beautiful I can't believe I sired her. She is ten and on her way to being a woman. My son is so smart he amazes me everyday. These are the only two people that I am connected to completely. Other people have always betrayed me. So-called friends only visit or call when they need something. I have no one who wants to be with me just to be with me. Even my family, if I don't call or contsact them they would never talk to me. I am last on the list. If there is someone out there for mr she is hiding pretty good.
