When I Am Alone

by Cindy   Nov 28, 2006


WHEN I AM ALONE

When I lay in my room all alone,

my mind takes over and begins to roam.

About things that have passed,

and things yet to come.

I think of all the loved ones ,

I have lost.

All the grief,

that comes at a cost.

All the things that I have gained

New friends from when I was ill,

Old friends whom stick by me still.

The way things happen I don't understand,

I guess I'm not suppose to thats left for a higher hand.

I always wonder why it was me who got ill?

It seems like I live on pill after pill.

I really hate to be alone,

All I want is somebody to call my own.

I think of when I use to drive,

go different places when the need would arise.

Visiting my family and friends, I could do with ease

Now I wait till they want to see me.

The visits are getting further and further apart,

Although I know I am in their hearts.

This is what I do when I'm alone,

I sit or lay and let my mind roam.

Back to days when I was not alone.

    This one really got me, the feeling of lonliness is just so strong in this one. you have wrote well about the longing to feel loved and needed again.

    i think we have been through simliar things as you mention in your poems about grief and loss, and you descrive very well how i feel and what i have been through too. it is good to find someone else writing about the same things, knowing you are not alone.

    thank you xxx

    "When I lay in my room all alone,
    my mind takes over and begins to roam.
    About things that have passed,
    and things yet to come."

    No matter how happy someone may seem on the outside, chances are whenever we're alone we all feel like this...
    I know i have my moments..
    Wonderfully emotive piece..
    5/5
