I Walk Alone

I hate sounding redundant, but if you know anything about me even the slightest bit, this seemed to have come out easily.

 

I walk alone down this lonely road

Only the sound of your angelic voice

Whispering the sweet sounds, you once sung

To help guide me through a lifetime of agony.

 

This void in my heart, charred and diseased

Burning forever in the realm of regret

I was not there for you,

Every day you were there for me.

 

With every sleepless night

Tossing and turning, trying to forget.

Haunting shadows reliving in the moments

It gets harder to live this life without you.

 

Forcing myself to move through it all

As the memories play out like a movie.

Sweet dreams turned to monsters

Constricting me from within nightmares.

 

My heart frozen in the dead of winter,

May the angels hear my desperate cries.

Only heaven above knows you are never far

As all this hope leaves my haunted soul.

 

I walk alone down this lonely road

Icy tears glistening in the moonlight,

Stumbling through the misty black and grey

Where you were once the colors of my world.

This is hauntingly beautiful , full of pain remorse and longing . The whole poem vividly grey and then the last line you were once the colours of my world. Stunning.

This is the best piece of your's that I have had the pleasure of reading. Having read many, this one is very special and so personal I want you to know I understand. You will never be alone and savor the good times you shared. This is emotionally moving to tears You write so beautifully, far beyond your years. You have such an elegant way of expressing and liberating your dark emotions of grieving your lose. I just wish I could give you a big ol' bear hug...That's not part of the review it's the emotions speaking that have humbled me and brought me to me knees.

So much to relate to. Impressive use of imagery and metaphors. You have beautifully captured the grief and loneliness. Well done.

First of all the photo is haunting and enchanting at the same time. Oh dear how heartache can grip and suffocate, breath life back into these loved ones by holding the memories close and hoping for reunions beyond crossing the bar. Grasp hold of this line from your poem, "Only heaven above knows you are never far" and hope in it and don't ever loss sight of this hope. The pure are there beyond the bar and we will see them again. Hope
