Alone

I sit alone in the dark

I feel the ache deep in my heart. 

The wounds never to be healed. 

I keep waiting for someone to come along and turn the lights on. 

To mend my broken heart. 

I didn't think anyone could replace you. 

Until him. . . 

The lights are on. Brighter than ever.

I love this poem...it's so sad and yet it is merely a reflection of the utter and despicable truth. I applaud you. That being said, I think you should add a period at the end of the first line. That is because in each stanza, every line ends with something except for the first line in the poem. The first line sets the stage (you did that very well by the way). The second is free to be anything but the first has to be reflection or something that catches attention. You kept my attention well. After reading the first line I thought to myself "Why alone? Why in darkness?" The poem answered my questions perfectly. Great job! Nicely and eloquently penned.
Best regards,
Phillitup

I like the twist at the end of this, darkness replaced by light! Nicely written!
