A Lonely Heart

A Lonely Heart Deaths sweet cousin has become my companion And the silent sounds and erect walls have felt my sorrow Loneliness has rusticated my companionship because of boredom The once cheerful cheek that beamed with smile is now a host to constant tears And now even the devil has no work for me in my ideal I have loved and have lived I once smiled relentlessly with joy all round The once crowned Prince of luxury and amusement The friend of all and the icon of the masses I lived and with no shadow of a doubt I saw myself on top of the world Then fortune turned it back on me And daylight turned into an awesome darkness Ironically there was one clear light in this darkness No one is a friend of rags but riches Recognition and care only exist in the world of luxury And there is no friendship in the timed of plenty But parasites and holocaust ready to enjoy. Agonizing lessons taped from my dead memories For have screamed so loud and yet it seems the world is empty My comrades have all fled and am alone facing this war of silence There’s no more love left in this world and love is just a meaningless word Everything one owns as accolades emanates not from his worth but wealth Have been left dumbfounded in mine grieve And no where to turn to but just for these silent sounds and erect walls I will hold them tight for that’s all I have left.

Welcome to Poetry Soup, Prince Henry. You have described well disappointment, loss and despair, and your poem is true in such a big way - we gather people when things seem to be going well, but maybe not real friends. When things are not going so well, however, it seems like things go from bad to worse. Nicely done.
