Rabia B Poet Free verse

The Lonely Heart

The Lonely Heart

The silence in the room
The darkness of the night
I look through the crack on the door 
Wondering when you'll switch on the light

My eyes grow tired, My hopes fade away
Still holding onto false hope 
You may call me tonight

Days, weeks months and years 
My heart feels heavy now 
My eyes filled with tears 
You treat me good, it's not all bad
But why do my insides feel empty and sad

Just living this life as the world narrates 
But never did I think 
We'll have a wall between us that keeps us separate

Under the same roof, Sleeping apart
Good night my love from this Ionely heart.

Sotto Poet August 3, 2026 at 6:13 AM Rabia, your poem conveys the tremendous emotional pain of a romantic separation. Darkness and silence symbolize the inner distance from your partner. Despite sensitivity like "You treat me good, it's not all bad," loneliness and emptiness continue. The poem shows the real struggle to connect and overcome emotional distance despite sharing space. Well done, keep writing and interacting.
