ALONE

I go to bed alone
I wake up alone
I eat all my meals in silence
Not another soul at home

I laugh alone
I cry alone
I wonder through these rooms
Imprisoned in my home

I dream alone
I scream alone
I reach out for an embrace
In this bedroom of my home

Alone, alone
I’m tired of being alone
I’m dying here alone
While you travel far from home

Then you walk in through the door
There is noise and there is life
And as you lie down to sleep
In the comfort of your home

Now you are beside me...yet,
I feel so all alone
For in your obliged embrace
My heart is dying....all alone.

    Its hard not to take it personally when jobs take loved ones on the road....I know....I think it is hard for them too though....good luck with this situation...I ended up traveling four years with my husband! Blessings

    Oh... you have no idea how much I can relate to this. I just sent you a book on your Little Flower poem... so I'll try not to do that here... I'll send a soup mail instead. ;) Love this poem, sad though it is, but it's a good poem written with so much feeling.

    Oh...had two very difficult days and many many cries. I'm better this afternoon. Sometimes when that cloud of depression decides to descend..there isn't much I can do about it! :) Thanks for the post! Hugs!
