Alone

Here I am
Alone
Warm bed
Alone
Thinking 
Alone
I cannot sleep
Alone
Confused,tired
Alone
Needing love
Alone
Wanting to hold,feel
Alone
Soon the morning will come
Alone

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

You've captured what everyone has felt so powerfully and succinctly. Agreeing with Keith, the repitition drove the point home.

Beautiful poem of an author seeming to love solitude and in which ALONE live a world entire and actually need to give and offer tenderness. That kind of Francois Sagan-Bonjour Tristess. Congrat.

Good mind state exposition. Like driving in a nail with "Alone". Poetry is very valid as an outcry. The poet sees and reports while most of humanity suffers in silence under a crushing existence. But if you are to keep your voice, you must find rescue. The humor of irony gets me through the night.

Brilliant use of repetition, fast paced and rhythmic, the end lines had a great impact too.

The constant repetition is most effective, as are the short, clipped phrases. Loneliness can be a terrible burden. Well done Roger! Best wishes, Keith
