I lie in the king sized bad
With no one to warm me up
Phones or Tabs cant Help
Its a cold night alone.....
I wait for sleep to arrive
But its been flown away by the tears
Eyes swollen
Nose blowing
Minds blocked by the separate thoughts
No one to confess
No one to hug you
No shoulders for heavy head
Joys lost Sorrow surrounded
Life cant be led.........
Without companion at all...
.........................................................................
Hope its not the Lonely night for u all this fall.......... Have a gr8 Christmas and Happy New Year...... ...... For one and all in dVerse Open Link Week 125
This rings so true, Lasha. So sad, but it has that feel of a 'time of transition' about it - as if in surrendering to the aloneness, & grief, you're acknowledging something else. Go get 'em! Beautiful, moving work. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteit's gonna be a lonely night for me... ugh... in a society where all day it seems like people are buried head first in their phones, tablets, etc... when you go to bed, that's when your head comes up and you realize these electronics ain't shit! powerful write.
ReplyDeleteit is def hard when you are alone...without someone to support you...esp on those tough days...and when you lay down and all the thoughts come rushing in...yeah, i hear you....you def get that feeling to come across...
ReplyDeletethanks for popping in my place as well...smiles...busy morning, but i finally made it back here...
So many people in the world - and so many of them alone, by choice, by circumstance, by rejection or bereavement. You've written a moving poem here, Lasha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my place too,
Tony
those lonely nights are tough... reminded me of when i was in california for four weeks without hubs and slept in a king size bed as well... it was way too big for me alone... def. felt emotions in this..
ReplyDeleteThe loneliness just increase... and at nights it reach its peak.. the way we still grasp the phone.. Screaming out on twitter "Goodnight" waiting for a response..
ReplyDeleteloneliness can be difficult and well sometimes you just want a human touch..
ReplyDeleteas you turn off your phone...
Unbearable. Truly. And yet in speaking, you are heard. And to be heard is to have hope.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, life without some kind of companionship, some physical connection to another human being can feel so overwhelming...your poem captures that desperate kind loneliness that comes in the night.
ReplyDeleteaww...the loneliness and sadness can be so overwhelming. You definitely make it come across here.
ReplyDeleteReading this left a heavy feeling in my soul, but not in a bad way!
ReplyDeleteloneliness is such a heartbreaking thing... you really conveyed the way it is for so many in these modern times.
