Poem Title:
Poem
Alone There are only so many times you can go to a dry well, Begging for water when you are dying of thirst. I have exchanged my last token, so no words will be spoken; No thoughts can be shared, my empathy hurts. All I need is one, but for me love is gone. Something I used to do, but now? None. I cannot pray for what I cannot ask for. I cannot beg or implore for a new love to adore, Because I have either closed every open door, Or they have been slammed in my face, no questions asked, No more. No more love for me; my heart a disease. Take it with ease. I have already given it to a thousand lost souls And there is no more gold to be earned from a piece of me, That does not work to find a thing that does not exist, When God knows I have tried! All I need is a simple kiss, yet no lips exist for my benefit. They are for others, who already have lovers And are also cheating love with former lovers. And me? Oh brother! Do not even bother to ask about my love life, Because you have endless names in your black book of abundance. It does not make me useful when I am redundant, To all who need love, because I am a closed book. My story already written; read and done. I have had enough of love to last me a lifetime… Apparently. I did not think so before, but now I am sure. I exist therefore I am alone. My epitaph scrawled across a cardboard home And I am alone, I am alone, I am alone, Alone. (C)2018 Aa Harvey.
