Alone

Much too much
There's never enough
Eat, drink
and mourn
It eats at you
It drinks your soul
And you are left�"
Alone, alone!

So horribly lonely
Unbearably sad
And you think
And you cry
And you wake
Oh, let it stop, let it stop!

The voice whispers as you sob
And you sleep and you live
and go on and on
Unbearable, horrible,
alone, alone!

Lucy,

We all live in chaos; with a military tuck (of the bed sheet), we keep it neatly hidden. Funny thing is, we all live this way... no matter what we try to hide from the outside world.

Sadness and anger, always hand in hand...

Your bio (I read a short bit) says your bitterness seems to be your best write, sincerely; it is difficult for most of us to write about love when we live in pain. (I am trying to say is you are not alone).

Most of us take forever to try and poop (yes, I said poop) out a brilliant write full of intellectual words and hope - when, in fact, the whole reason it takes us a lifetime to do so is that our life is the opposite of which we are writing.

I understand aloneness and misery as most of us do; with that said, you did an outstanding job of painting this description on your page. This is life at its norm, bravo.

Have an outstanding day, Lucy and keep writing.

I thought I was alone, I thought everyone found a way. Perhaps it's not as bad as we think, we are really not alone in a lonely world. This expresses exactly what I feel, we are much too young and perhaps in time we will find the end to this despair. Hang in there!

yuor poem was really good

[Silvario]

very well penned. the pace, the inflections and structure all penned beautifully to allow for your message to emerge, no, to be thrusted out off the screen. very powerful.

well done :)
