Alone in the Dark

I was all alone in the dark

Longing for someone to get me out,

Someone who will lend a hand to grasps,

A hand to rest for a while.

 

I was all alone in the dark

Nobody to share my griefs, to wipe my tears,

Nobody dare to ease my fears and pains,

Nobody cares to listen for my anguish.

 

I was all alone in the dark

Longing for a way out,

a light to lighten my life

To leave the dark alone who ruined my life.

Ach, this is the opposite of the love coin. On the one hand we crave love. On the othe we dread this loneliness you describe so well, esp the loneliness of the night. But there is also great inspiration in loneliness and in the dark, if we can face them.

always,

Thats so strong , sad, full with fears from darkness, but I love the end, which sounds so optimistic, finally you could leave the darkness alone!

[Lawrence Parlier]

Very sad. It pulls the reader right in to the heart of your feelings.

I like the feel of darkness and loneliness in this poem. I like the desire for help to escape the darkness. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

The darkness can suffocate us, blinding us into a pit of despair as we sit alone, waiting for the hand of light to guide us back to humanity. Great write :)

"Longing for a way out,
a light to lighten my life"
Liked the phrasing of those two lines, and imo I think they are the best in the whole piece. Not generally a fan of despair/dark poetry but this one was spot on.

good way to call out to someone. being stuck in the dark is a hard thing. being stuck in it alone is harder. this is a great description though.

[Pitta S Dev]

beautiful writing

this type of poetry, I always enjoy. Every line is full yet brief, its dark and sad and its pure human emotion with the sense of hope still floating around from start to finish...kind of like our lives
