Lonely

Little and slowly life ebbs away Own self for company stayed another day. Never a smile, never a visit, Everyone too busy, peoples past existence. Lonely is quiet, lonely doesn't speak, Yearn for life connection my loneliness does seek. "L" Contest, New or Old Poetry Contest Sponsor Constance La France Written 15.09.21

Hi Simon and thank you. I think we all can feel a bit lonely at some point in our lives but for some it is much worse and usually long term. Emilia : )

Many people are lonely, not just the elderly! It’s a huge problem. You described it so well and accurately.We Think the internet is our best friend or lover? Huge mistake. We are only letters om a screen. People need people. They need to see mouths talks and socialize, perfect topic for these times Best wishes..Panagiota

Spot on Pangie and thank you. I agree with you on all what you said. The world seems to hide away from itself now. Take care. Emilia :)

You often hear of the elderly people living lonely lives with only the TV for company, a sad place to be. Good luck Emilia, hope week is going well. Tom
