Alone

Alone

A Poem by Anthony D. Howe
"

Truthfully, one of my biggest fears is being alone. I'm always thinking about it, and in the end I truly don't believe that humans are meant to be alone. We are always searching for a friend, or a significant other. Basically we want someone to fill in

"

Ever felt alone in a crowded hall?

Felt like no one would come to your call?

Ever felt cold, shivering in the heat?

Or just wanted another soul to meet?

 

Ever looked up, and no one was there?

Felt as if no one would ever care?

Seen the sky, and seen the space?

Of the lives and souls, of the human race?

 

We all miss them even if they were never there,

Our soul's mate, our heart's fare,

We search we wonder

At night we ponder

 

Really, is anyone there?

This was desolate, a perfect example of that feeling that we get when the world seems to have turned it's back on us... Great job.

I want another stanza in there, either before or after the second stanza. Not sure which. But I think maybe adding to this one would help. I'm not so sure about the ending...I think you could have fun creating something there. I like it ending with a question, though. Overall, a great run of thoughts.

i honestly doubt that anyone's there...it's just each of us for ourselves at the end of the day..

nice work nonetheless...can sort of relate to it....

Great write and so true! it does feel like we're seaching for someone...or something a companion or just someone to listen.
