Alone

The night gapes
With its hollow eyes;

No escape, 
My shadow has gone. 

I've learned from Pain
And the Emptiness inside, 
It taught me 
To hold back my tears, 
To pretend I'm fine. 

I am my worst enemy, 
My greatest friend, 
But somewhere in the

Darkness, 
I lost sight of myself. 

The faces I once knew,

Forgot me.
The silence I threw away,

Now haunts me. 

Author's Note

This is a bit darker than the usual, I just felt like sitting down and thinking about everything for a bit. This was just a little harder to write, because I feel like I payed more attention to my own emotions this time, so the ending result might not be as good. Thank you for reading, sorry for the long note. :)

This is so true to what I believe almost everyone feels at some point, some more than others. Very nicely done. Keep Dreaming.

Thank you very much, I tried to lay out the feelings so anyone can feel what's going on , instead of just reading.

Excellent poem, shows the darker side of human emotion in a well presented format. Everyone can relate to this at one point in their life, which is what makes it more of an understandable piece in my opinion.

Thank you for the comment, I tried to make this poem so that it reaches out to anyone who felt this way (some more than others) and provide a pat on the back, because they're not alone.
