By Myself

Your hands holding hers

As you walk down the hall

The way you look at her

As if she was your all

I wish you'd look at me

Like there was nobody else

I wish you'd hold me tight

But I'm all by myself

There is such a longing in your words, a wishing for something so close, and yet impossibly far. We sometimes find in life that the furthest thing from us is the heart of another, and nothing overwhelms us more. What a beautiful pain in your thoughts.

Thank you!

A wonderful poem shared. I agree. We all want someone to love us as we are the only one. Thank you Evelynn for sharing the excellent poetry.

Longing for love. Is heartbreaking and sad. When you see others who have it.

We don’t always get what we want but what we need as hard as it may be- rejection is Gods protection- the right one will look at you at right time- lovely 🌹

[Evelynn]

I completely agree with that sentiment.

With only a couple of lines, this painted a portrait of a beautifully heartbreaking story. Another well done piece from you.

Ah! This hurts. You managed to express all the unsaid emotions in just few lines. I loved this.

[Evelynn]

The poem is wonderful! Well penned, well weaved, simply well done! Short and profound. The only thing I would suggest is a change in the title, for it doesn't do justice to the poem. It may be vague, which is good with a poem this powerful, but I wonder whether it's a little off the mark, for it's not about "myself", but rather about being "by myself", but that is the great reveal at the end. So go vague with the title as you so please, but don't make it appear off the mark. The poem itself is great, and it flows beautifully. Simply change the title so it's a tad more relative to the theme.

Thank you so much. I was actually meant to type By Myself,instead it seems I typed myself.
