Dorian Petersen Potter Poet Rhyme

At a Distance

Everything was ok till I don't know what happened or why 
But all of sudden, in the blink of an eye, everything fell apart 
Minutes and hours loom ahead and roll all into one. 
Nights and days press forward while sometimes I feel alone 
And deep inside I feel like crying because no one cares at all. 
My room gets darker all the time as it shrivels quite small 
And I just can't sit  here 'round and stare at an empty wall 
Everything was ok till I don't know what happened or why. 
Nights and days press forward while sometimes I feel alone 
My room grows darker all the time as it shrivels quite small.

Mohammad Yamin October 27, 2008 at 6:25 PM Your poem is a remarkable expression of loneliness. The reader feels the darkness and the gloom it is associated with. Really heartrending. Thanks for your lavish praise of my poem the Paint Brush. God Bless you!-Mohammad
