Loneliness... ( An Acrostic)

by Dreamofolwin   Apr 9, 2013


Longing for someone to understand...
One tender word, the touch of a hand;
Nowhere expells this emptiness...
Embedded so deep, I can't express.
Life just an ember inside of me...
In touch with the world I want to be;
No one sees how my heart craves...
Expressions, laughter, my sanity saved.
Sheer numbness it overcomes me...
Save me, help me... stay with me.

    Hi Olwin,

    Well done on such an amazingingly flawless acrostic. The rhythm goes throughout.

    Loneliness can be very hard to deal with and even in a room full of people we can still feel lonely.

    Take care, Em.

    Excellent write!

    I really love your word choice and rhyming in an acrostic is not so easily done well, very thought provoking piece.

    Great job :)

    Well done with this - getting an acrostic to rhyme seamlessly is not easy - you've achieved that here.
    Take care,

    ^^This opening is enough to touch the heart..moving couplet.

    No one sees how my heart craves...
    Expressions, laughter, my sanity saved.

    ^^A very emotional line and believe me when I say that I know how you must be feeling because at one time I was in the same boat.

    Loneliness is such an empty feeling to battle with and I hope it doesn't last. Take care.
