Seeking solace in thee

in poem •  7 years ago 


Here I am once on my own
How I have fallen from my throne
Life is meaningless without you in our home
I've lost all meaning laying here alone.

I've tried to replace the emptiness within
But with no success and my heart is wearing thin
In the darkness searching for light in you
Your are far away to give the spark that starts the fire anew

I am reaching out, crying, drawing in tears
You were my only hope, protection against my fears
A pillar of strength and hope in my life
You've prevented me to put into my chest this knife

Hopelessly hopeless without hope
I've been surviving but now struggling to cope
I need you like a flower needs the sun
I need you because you are my only one.

Thank you for your comment. Will get right on that post.

Wow that is an amazing poem. It's that kind of poem where it takes on several meanings depending on what is going on in your life. I upvoted!

Thank you so much for your comment, upvote and reading. I really appreciate the support. The beauty in poetry is that is subjective. It can take people on different journeys at once. Words have power.

Wow! I like the rhyme scheme, which looks like it's AAAA BBCC DDEE (AA or FF)GG

In addition to the message, I usually like it when there's a recognizable rhyming pattern, as it shows that the poet really put some thought into it.

Thank you for reading and the appreciation of my work. A lot of thought but most importantly a lot of emotion goes into my writing.

Amazing! Your words create powerful emotions.

I am happy you are feeling what I am writing. I'm sill a little baby but growing fast.
