Alone

Alone

Silence.

Both uplifting

and depressing

when the echoes are empty

and no love abounds.

As if no one cares.

Then it is icy cold

abandonment,

floating across a sky

of freezing fog,

no warmth to keep

this body alive.

So just I am left

here alone;

dying.

You are welcome buddy...

[Rhianne Ney]

A great poem...
Does it talk about a man who is abandoned or hated?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No simply alone. My kids have left home and my two year relationship ended a month ago. It was a bank holiday weekend and my friends were busy with familty stuff. So nothing too serious. The food of poets really!

[Rhianne Ney]

I hope someone will be there for you... It's hard to endure everything alone...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Rhianne you are a kind and talented person. I am fine as I am an optimist. Just used to having peopel to look after. My kids have flown and I am not in a relationship but will be again! keep writing.

Isn't it interesting that we want to escape the oppression of others, the pain they cause in our lives- but when we are free of it we are lonely and unfulfilled? Almost as if we are not living unless we feel we are dying. Beautifully melancholy, John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Lisa. I think you get it?

[Lisa Ring]

Lol, are you asking or telling? I thought I got it!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Not telling. Thanking you!

[Lisa Ring]

No need to thank me ;)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes when someone is there for you you have to be thankful!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Could do with a cuddle!

[Lisa Ring]

I wish I could. I am quite the hugger. Hope it will do that I have a sympathetic heart and that way over here, though we've never met, you have a mate.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No that IS nice. Was feekling a bit melancholic last night. But today is another day. Too much time spent writing yesterday!! Thank you!

[Lisa Ring]

You're welcome. I'm glad things are brighter today :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks Lisa. Hope you are good!

[Lisa Ring]
