Strong alone.

We are all alone, but we don't have to be lonely.

Strong alone

As the pages revealing secrets, turn,

As heaps and heaps of memories, burn..

We know each line is gonna bring cruel truths, 

we had always tried to hide inside,

The memories will come after us,

Even those, which we thought,

we had left behind..

The moon was often cold and mean,

But as we start doubting the sun..

The frowning faces were always there,

But as the loving masks, come undone,

We realize, nobody is ours forever,

Not even our shadow,

Yes, thats right..

Because like an unfaithful friend, 

it doesn't stick with us,

when its complete dark or excessive bright..

There are only two inseparable  lovers, 

I've been able to find,

One is the heart,

The other is the mind.

Yes, they quarrel over and over again,

Cause a chaos, even when the motive is the same,

But whenever the heart is weak,

the mind takes the lead, and guides it through,

And whenever the logic, the rational, fails,

and it needs console and strength, 

The heart comes to its rescue..

And it is, when we start to believe,

 We are strong,

We learn to care less about the things gone wrong,

And when we stop segregating the tears and the smiles,

We start taking in our ever so surprising,

Yet wonderful lives.

Thank you for a much needed poem! I've read so many poems of loneliness and desperation on this site, I've lost count. We seem to forget that our greatest friends are inside us. Although I do not necessarily agree with your view that no friends stick forever, I can empathize with it. Loneliness is a state of mind. A dangerous one, at that. People begin thinking that they are worthless, and make no efforts to get in touch with others, which leads to further loneliness.
I find your last stanza to be brilliant for the reason that it doesn't romanticize life. It accepts that there are going to be successes and failures. And it suggests that instead of reveling in loneliness, we believe in ourselves, and enjoy whatever life brings. Beautiful.

P.S. There are a few things I'd like to point out, grammar wise. I'll send you a message.
