Pale Shelter Poem: Empty and Alone

Pale Shelter Poem 

Empty and Alone 

 

As I sit and wonder where it was that I went wrong 

I see you and me 

Forever 

Apart.  

My humility is evident in the lines I write to you 

From the shelter of my bedroom 

In silence 

Alone.  

The cold is colder without you 

Here with me  

In my bed 

Deserted. 

I struggle with the ideas of moving forward 

In this world of uncertainty 

As I walk by myself 

Through the days 

Forlorn.  

I ask you to take me back in your arms 

For this is a safe place 

I would stay 

Forever.  

I will wait for you until you know 

That we are meant  

to be together  

Always.
