Always and Always Alone

in poetry •  7 years ago 

From some time well before I met my husband

I am alone…
always and always alone…

On the street they pass me by…
Hand in hand, their love carries them on…
Past pain, past desire, blind to my lonely way.

I am alone…
always and always alone…

With friends in a café…
Their chatter and laughter I share…
And note in my heart the lovers nearby.

I am alone…
always and always alone…

A show to watch and entertain…
Two lovers all obstacles o’ercome…
To end in life or death, united by love’s embrace.

I am alone…
always and always alone…

With him, holding hands…
Time spent together and shared…
Yet still, alone and lonely he makes me.

I am alone…
always and always alone…

He moves on, leaves me behind…
Betrayal and heartache again my portion…
Still life moves on, rolls over, grinds on.

I am alone…
always and always alone…

    Very good....loved the poetry but concerned about the sentiment expressed. Hopefully you are not truly "down there" anymore?

      No, I’m haven’t been alone for going on 27 years – I’ve enjoyed true wedded bliss all since December 1991 This poem was composed back when I was an undergrad in college, around 1985 or 87; I can’t recall precisely; but I graduated undergrad in ‘89. I didn’t meet my husband until over a year after graduating.
