i am alone again tonight

since discovering new life
growing in my chest
i've given up on everything else
i sit alone at night
by myself
thinking about whatever
i get mad sometimes
but i never stray
from the light
i nurture this new life
growing softly within me
i feed it Federico Garcia Lorca
poems and can feel it
giving off warm vibes of
luv in return
i feel its imaginary hands
clinging to my heart at night
when i crawl into
bed alone
together we dream of
new worlds
new friends to meet
new strangers to greet
never looking back to
the past because the
past never existed
sometimes during
the middle of the night
i hear her words which
travel time's endless path
and surface every now and
again and can feel a small
smile forming from within
and a gentle nod
as if to say
everything will be
ok

Ah! This is so sad but so beautiful too...
Very painful indeed!

I am alone again tonight....
A title enough to empathize with.
It was crude and original...enough to keep me on a hook.
An exquisite work.

um, i absolutely find this to be, exquisite.
Heartwarming, literally. And the imagery is beautiful, the personification used for the "thing" growing inside of you, just so endearing. almost cryptic, but the romance of it allows you to ignore that. And to get that feeling that the subject is content in the end, even though he's going to sleep alone, a great ending. Because we all know he can't be. I absolutely love this, i can't put it in words, kudos, kudos, kudos!!
