Loneliness Knows Me By Name

A heart without a home Can cause one much pain. A mind on the troll Can cause one much shame. A life all alone Feels like acid rain. Loneliness knows me by name

In your Free Verse, you even threw in some rhymes. Great description of loneliness my friend. Cheers and best wishes.

So true Neil. Loneliness can be very defeating. But when we realize that Jesus is always by our side, lonliness has no place in our lives. Just in talking with Him our lonely hearts are warmed and filled with joy. His perfect love makes us complete.

WOW, Neil you sure know how to pull your reader in. I can't say I know this feeling. I'm sure I felt this burning sensation at least once or twice in my life. You did an amazing job, in describing how one is drawn into a world of loneliness when falling in despair. Love SKAT

Thank you SKAT. I wrote that during a tough old time. Funny how I only really write anything when something significant takes place in my life. Haven't written anything in a while. I suppose its what they call writer's block?

Hi Neil, I like the last seam, even though it is not a good attraction """to be known as""", I enjoyed the way you conjured to the calling of loneliness. This is a short poem, but worthy of another read. Always LINDA

Thank you Linda. I commented earlier that I don't usually write soppy poems, but seems like its working for me. At least for now.
