Loneliness Won'T Ever Leave Us Alone

Loneliness Won’t Ever Leave Us Alone Loneliness strikes at the very heart of what compels us as human beings as we seek love and hope in this life. The magic majesty of life is, at once, all-encompassing, yet overwhelming, at times, in the world of humankind. Loneliness may signal a loss of love and a loss of hope that all is not what it should or it could be in one’s life. Over time, the spirit of loneliness that may haunt each of us in our lifetime can devolve into anger and disillusion. Loneliness, at times, cries out loudly in the depths of our human soul, and coping with it may be too much to endure. Where there is love and joy, there can still be a degree of loneliness that bespeaks a sadness and despair deep inside. In the true essence of one’s life, this utter spirit of loneliness is the ugly companion that all of us confront as human beings. Loneliness lurks in the shadows of our minds and lies ever ready to strike in moments of anger, despair, sadness, and forlorn hope. A feeling of deep sadness and despair may never say why all the tenderness and love that our souls possess will survive as we cry. A river of tears will help us as we search for that special love in this life whilst we know that loneliness won’t ever leave us alone.

Worse part of loneliness Gary is when your surrounded by people, yet still feel totally alone, I think your poem is hinting at depressive loneliness, I hope putting your feelings into this fine poem, was cathartic, cheers David

Thanks David for your read and comment here. This poem is more my observation of loneliness and its impacts and effects on the human condition in general. I think all of us, at one time or another, have experienced perhaps a certain degree of loneliness or have known others who have been severely affected. Best Wishes, Gary

Hello Gary Bateman, loneliness comes to everyone it sneaks up on us. We feel sadness for what seems forever. We have rivers and oceans named after us. Loneliness makes us cry sometimes to a point when the body shakes feel like it will break. Yet at one point in life everyone does feel lonely. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello Darlene!! Many Thanks for your comment here. Loneliness is indeed part of our shared common humanity. Yes, for sure, each of us may feel lonely at times. It's all part of being human and feeling the emotions generated by sadness. Cheers and Best Always, Gary
