Solitude Comes Calling

A paracrostric

Solitude comes calling;

Often days together, we will spend.

Loneliness is not here;

In her place my loyal, precious friend.

 

Time turns the clock around;

Until this breath I take, be my last.

Do not fear the present;

Ever learning lessons, from the past.

 

Come sit with me a while;

Old confidante, comfort me a bit.

Memory but shadows;

Even pleasing moments, not well lit.

 

Solitude comes calling;

Crying out to help the deeply scarred.  

Answer her as always;

Lamenting not this fond regard.

 

Linger here in silence;

Instill faith of dignity regained.

Never want for visits;

Gracious friends abandon not the pained.

Wow, this was an amazing read, not to mention I was pleased by the absence of incorrect spelling and decent grammar while keeping the rhymes. The flow, also, was very good. The only thing I have to say is you don't need to 'sign' your writing at the bottom because writerscafe already gives it a copyright, haha. Good job!

Thank you. I try to present error free work, academic writing quirk. Just used to pasting my sig on short work. For you, I'll stop.

You don't have to stop, I just wasn't sure if you knew it or not haha.
