To Be Alone

 

To be alone

is like being forced to cross a desert.

You know there’s an end to this journey

but when you think you’ve finally reached it

there is a new dune to cross.

 

To be alone

is like to starve in the middle of a poverned nation.

To be in need of something that can only improve your life

but there is none of this substance to spare.

 

To be alone

is like windowing shop without money in your pocket.

Admire it all you like, for it shall never be yours.

 

To be alone

is to lose the one you love and never find another.

Very well penned....this gripped my attention from the first couple of lines.

"To be alone

Admire it all you like, for it shall never be yours." A great metaphor....

A very worthy addition to "Keeping the Dream Alive" "Loneliness" contest.

Thank you for sharing...

This is elegance in its own melancholy way. I felt this very intensely. Perhaps because I could relate so well.

Thank you

This is to be alone and lonely here. It is sad when you want to reach and it seems like everything you want is just beyond. You captured the essence of that feeling very well here - I recognize it. Time has taught me to believe there is a reason for this time alone because something good waits and wants you to get there to that place.... smile, write, reflect and joy will come.
