Alone(P) Poems - Poems about Alone(P)

It’s natural like a crater. It’s natural like a speckled bruise. Depression. Just wanders around with a temper in its pocket. Trailing hair. Growth-like things. Slugs that are at the end of the swamp. Depression. Has anger that is full and sloshing. A staggering feeling. Overcoming. Then not overcoming. It’s just the most natural, haunting blade of grass… That...

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, The engine is screaming down a rusted track, Steel hearts thunder, my nerves are blue-black. Chasing ghosts that never look back. Flirting with the man in black, Laughing as the signals crack, Riding high through shaking trees, Drenched in a flood of old memories. Stations blur past, the clock hands slide On and on, we go, we're tracking the guide. Fingers start...

My mind simmers— a volcano, waiting. Maybe it erupts, maybe it just holds, a silent threat behind every blink. It takes everything— to stay still, to not burst when no one else feels the fire licking the edge of my thoughts. Decisions burn before they’re made— Is it right? Am I right? Will this moment become another mess to clean alone? Life spills like paint no one asked for— a blur of colors no one...

Writing when I’m alone. A tired writing. Terrible, sleepy writing. So nothing goes right. Writing is absolute. Stains everywhere. The stain of words. Trembling. Writing is gracious. Kind and hefty. Turns back toward me. Like a detached face. Writing is combing through piles. Wailing and eyebrow raising. Swallowing my pencil. Horrible just like that. I left my pen and notebook at home. No one can bring it to me. So I’m grappling...

alone i walk the lengths of this world you’ve been gone forever and a day you didn’t say you’d be gone an eternity when you last said your goodbyes i wander here alone in my wilderness while you’re out there on the other side i walk around chasing the light in a sky that clocks the time meanwhile i shed my tears...

When darkness falls and clouds surround, A voice within says, "You’re lost, you’re bound." The weight, the pain, so hard to bear, But in the silence, someone’s there. A hand to hold, a heart to hear, In shadows deep, you still are near. Your tears, your fears, they don’t define— You're more than this, you still can shine. Though voices whisper, "Let it...

The road was rough, the path well-worn, My boots were dusted in what we mourn. I walked by the field we used to know, Where dreams were born, but failed to grow. A window glows behind a hill, A face I loved, maybe there still. But time's moved on, and so have we, After we fought - I lost the...

I sit alone beneath the sky, Uncle, thinking of your last goodbye, The world feels heavy, dreams unclear, With every step, I carry fear. Graduation looms - so close, so wide, But doubt and worry walk beside. You always knew just what to say… I wish you could be here today...
