A Poem by Simon Welsh
"

I wanted the simple life

"
I wish I could leave all of this behind
I look at how far I've come and I
realise that I am lost
I wanted the simple life
where frosty dawns would give way
to warm kisses from the one I love...

Instead I wake to fading walls
the world doesn't wait to unfold
Each heavy step I take reminds me I'm alone
Someday I will follow the sun
and leave this sadness behind
until then I'm keeping the pain inside

I see the love of my life
being whisked away to lands unknown
and I'm watching her leave
with tears in my eyes

Crowds of strangers around me
and they all seem at home with each other
Here I am, unsure of where I should be
cause I don't belong to anyone..

It's amazing how lonely you can feel simply because of your feelings for someone else. You can be surrounded by loved ones but still feel like no-one else is there for you. It's a lonely road to walk on, for sure. Very sad, emotional writing, but beautifully written.

It's very relatable for me. Sad and haunting.

this is so sad and reminds me of my love life lol but it is very sad but very moving at the same time. it helps you realize how alone someone can be and noone would know. and how lucky those who have love are. very nice i can't wait to see more
