Notes About The Poem

Loneliness

Longing to have someone to share my life with
One special person just for me
Nobody around to love me for who I am
Everybody needs somebody
Living on my own is so difficult
I crave company… I just need someone to talk to
Never felt so alone and isolated
Envious of others who are in a relationship
Solitude is so soul destroying
Someday I will find someone to share my dreams… someday

Great take on a subject many are or have gone through I should know; having been the male version at times in my life! Have said this before, but truly admire your graceful style!!

A very good take on the subject, Jan, and using an Acrostic too. You were able to convey the message with the limitations set by this form. Hugs! Kim :-)

Loneliness has its own sadly rhythm you have sensationalized with beautiful words. 7 sure. What is loneliness is known to one who passes the path of life through it. Beautifully done. Loved always, my lovely friend. Loved always,bl

At first I thought; wait, Jan is married...then I read some of the posts here and I thought, she had me fooled. Then of course, I thought of the writes I have done (Eligys) for souls I have never met, to console those souls in grief. Sometimes it's of benifit to do so if we love our fellow man ! Wonderul undertaking dear poet ! Have a wonderful week Jan......much love, james
