A Loneliness Like This

He was my warmth, He was my light, In the darkest hours of my darkest night. Forsaken, stranded, and in despair. I've never been so alone, nor felt so scared. Who knew that a loneliness like this, could even exist? A loneliness that longed for even the companionship, of Death's bittersweet kiss. Yet, even in my most desperate hours of need, Death never came. Even he too, had abandoned me. I had no hope, I hated being alive. Until a thought of you, crossed my mind. And I no longer cared, that I had nowhere to go. Because I was no longer alone, You were there. You are my warmth, You are my light, and in the darkest hours of my darkest night, My last thoughts are of you.

"I've never been so alone" this reminds me of a phrase when I lost someone who was so dear to me.Your poem is just so fantastic and inspiring. Thanks

Good Morning Yoshi Mato : Thank you Yoshi for the visit and comment “ Interesting perspective on this write. ” and after reading your free verse poems, by the way welcome to this site, I can see that you are a well educated man . “ A Loneliness Like This ” Quite eloquent, and if this is autobiographical ???, even if it is not ???, it is such a sad saga, of what I believe to be an attempted suicide, for such a young soul !!! Sorry !!! I was about to go to another of your poems when I saw your note explaining . “ A Traveller's Sorrow ” is the essence of all human nature Yoshi Mato, none of us can escape that fact !!!, no matter, upon which part of this little blue planet, we set foot on or try to escape to .
