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.

Its a stunning poem though dark one.. I liked it how everything is driven by demonic things .. Great piece :-)

Not redundant at all my dear. You paint the world of lonely in such an amazing way. Just because you use fewer metaphors and common words...does not mean it's unoriginal. It's how you construct the rhyme, the emotions, and share the energy of YOU..that makes it so great.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

As I read this poem, I felt so cold. The lonely images were enough to almost keep hope from surviving. You use of emotion is truly a special talent.

[Dayran]

A mood and condition that is well portrayed on account on one's acceptance of it. Nicely done!

[Ellii Smith-Johnson]

Wow. This is beautiful.
The clear loneliness portrayed really speaks to me and I know exactly how it feels.

[Lily Mae]

Wow..one of my favorites of yours.. I could feel the dark cold walk.. Lonely and void of belief anymore.. And the picture is perfect.. All around well done..xo

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The sheer "no hope" of the character leads the reader to both fear and be amazed, well done, good read.

[Draven]

That was both beautiful an damazing. Loneliness is a terrible thing indeed.

I love how you succeed in creating this eerie feeling of hopelessness, as you 'walk alone this lonely road'. The picture goes rather well with the poem, so it adds to the mood, and overall, great job. I also like how you repeated the first line in your last verse.

I went through a similar phase in life too, but eventually, it gets much better, just keep that little bit of hope shining.

Filled with strong emotions.. pain, loneliness. yearning..
You conveyed the feeling well through every line.

Full of brilliance.. great poem! Keep writing! :D
