In Loneliness

Sometimes ... pride just kills love.

ღ In Loneliness ღ

Lonely hearts ... wondering how it could've been
Sadness creeping in their souls leaving them in pain
Lonely hearts ... victims of their own unforgivable sin
Sadness telling them there's nothing more to gain

Loneliness leading to this eternal void deep inside
Where they can no longer run , no longer hide

Lonely hearts victims of lust and doomed seduction
No love to heal their souls or give them serenity
Lonely hearts aching for love, yet self destruction
As nothing relieves them, a moment is eternity

Those foolish lonely hearts .... too proud
In a consuming voiceless silence, yet so loud

Faces longing to see the ones they love
Hearts aching for a look, for a touch
Dreaming doesn't seem to be enough
As the separation hurts way too much

Too proud to say I love you
Too sad to say I miss you

He sleeps, her eyes haunting his memory
Tears on her pillow, she finally dreams
He wishes to see her face to cease his agony
She wants to cry but who would hear her screams

Too proud to admit whose fault it is
Too stubborn to be the one to resist

Silence so intense swallows their pride
They both know in loneliness they'll remain
Too proud to admit who is on the wrong side
Too foolish to realize they both end in pain.

In loneliness they both hide their tears
In loneliness they might remain for years ©

Beautiful expression of the self imposed prison in which we lock ourselves. The mind is a stern guard who holds the key to unlocking the emotion filled heart. You write with an unsuppressed poetic pen of the emotional exile that leads to loneliness.

"Dreaming doesn't seem to be enough... As the separation hurts way too much... " Strong expression of heart through such lines. The ending of the poetry's too beautifully ended.. with emotional words. Whatever you write in this write 'bout "loneliness" is seemed to be appreciated. Your write belongs to love which, by the end, gives pain or heartaches to lovers. Nice flow of ink.

I really loved this...so many of the lines rang a bell with me...and yet the picture you painted was uniquely yours. The heart wants what the heart wants but the head doesn't always agree. Sad.

A beautifully penned piece indeed! Silence can be so deafening, destroying something that could be saved. Being stubborn never gets one far when it comes to mattes of love. Nicely done!

Loneliness echoes through and within walls of realizations when it is too stubborn to resist and too powerful to admit. That voiceless silence is really consuming...Excellent...:)..........................
