I am alone

There are times in life when unpleasant events occur, and even though the ones you love try to be there for you, you remain alone in your struggle

I am lonely.

Through all things, you took my hand

You shared your comforts with me

You opened your arms and held me while I whimpered into your chest

You stroked my hair and kissed my cheek and said

"I am here for you.''

Still I am lonely...

I am alone in my sleepless torment

My mind filled with 'what if' and 'but'

I am alone in the unnerving day

constantly trying to hide and hating to admit

"I am afraid."

I am lonely!

Even in your company...

I really liked this one, both the content and the interesting shape and structure of it. It's such a sad poem - the worst is to be lonely in the company of someone. Thanks for sharing this.

Many kinds of loneliness.
"I am afraid."
I am lonely!
Even in your company..."
The above lines can be true often in a long life. Life take us to places we want to be and sometimes life takes us to places run from. Thank you James for sharing the excellent poetry.
