alone

In life, we all walk alone.

we walk along this path
alone (save for the sounds
footstep by footstep)
we are together
but alone

strong fingers intertwine
laced (fragility
the bond twixt two)
yours and mine
ours

we hide amongst shadows
in darkness (laughter fills us
our worlds interlocked)
a circumstantial truce
a camaraderie

reality finds her blade
sharp (cold as ice
chasing with a manic grin)
she finds us
divide and conquer

our technicolor dream
shatters (a complaisant duet
upset by dissonant chords)
we are uprooted
scattered by the wind

in the end
we are not meant to link together
we all walk this path alone
(in the silence of shed tears)

Author's Note

Sorry, it's depressing. Couldn't sleep, so I wrote. Please be gentle.

Alone and not wanting any interferences. That is straight honesty. Together as if fixtures. Still I see the strength of love somehow trying to bind two together. Or does it bind? Hiding makes it mysterious but fearful - never knowing it will last. You have wolves in sheeps clothing lurking all about but yet the wisest part, YOU KNOW IT. It is bittersweet as it ends. You know so you show wisdom. You show strength in words that many could not expound. You baffle me with your way of expressing so mysteriously. That draws me to a poet. The complexity and the manner of showing some insecurity with strength. Strength and innocence with a fence built around, I admire this. You need to WRITE ON~~~~ and on~~~~~

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Sounds like the character in the poem is talking about another world trying to overlap ours.

[Emma Lee-Riviera]

Hey, my dear Emma... It is so sad; how you write the truth with such young blooded words. Keep in mind that the truth has many facets; from sparkle, to blinding glare or simply a dull reflection. If you don't like what you see then just walk about until the view changes to something more pleasing. Personally, I don't think it's possible to dwell for any length of time in a place of perpetual bliss. Even if we stop at that point where it's good for us it will, most certainly, move about us until we are no longer where we thought we were. It is a pragmatic and perhaps unsavoury view of how the soul may transcend life but, perhaps, a necessary one.

Sorry for not reviewing this sooner. I'm a real honest-to-gosh slacker at times. XD

[Emma Lee-Riviera]

You're fine! I don't expect anyone to read anything I write. I appreciate it when y'all do, though. ^_^

I was upset at the time. I'm pretty much okay with it now. :) Like you said, sometimes you just need a new angle. :3 Thank you for reading my angsty nonsense, love!

It's sad that we started walking with somebody but chances had made us apart... and now we realize we are walking alone.
Nice write for a sort of release.

[Emma Lee-Riviera]

Thanks! ^///^ Nice of you to review, I really appreciate it. :)

I have something to say first.

I MISSED YOU DAMN YOU! T A T

Anyway this piece you have written seems like you can turn it into a song. In my mind I was literally singing it, in fear that if the heavens hears my voice it might explode into tears. Much like how onions make people cry because of its stench

Don't apologize D:< People get depressed and other people should be cool with that :)

Awesome write

[Emma Lee-Riviera]

I MISSED YOU TOO!!!! *glomp hug* And screw the heavens, if you wanna sing, then let nothing stop you!!! :)

Thank you for the review, love. And I won't apologize. Promise! ^_^

[escapingherself]

This is very nice! And you should never apologize for depressing poetry, especially when it's well written like this is. I love the first stanza, especially the second and third lines.

[Emma Lee-Riviera]

Thank you for the review! It means a lot to me. ^///^
It's just not what I usually write, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out.
