Loneliness

Loneliness

A Poem by Mahmoud Alfaouri

Loneliness

Is it sin or purity?

Do you know what it means to be lonely?

Feeling pain, sorrow, and sadness.

No one around to help.

No one around to talk.

No one around to cheer.

No one around to share.

No one around to empathize.

Alone.

Have you finally opened your heart?

To see that you made your self lonely.

To see that your actions caused your pain.

Pain you never could share.

Pain you never will share.

Pain you never could extinguish.

 Pain you never will extinguish.

Pain you became part of when you closed your heart.

Alone.

I ask, are you alone in this circle of loneliness?

Are there others out there like you?

Are there others out there who pain?

Are there others out there who sorrow?

Are there others out there who sadden?

7 billion people in the world.

Think about how many are feeling what you are feeling.

You want to be alone, they want to be alone.

Alone.

You all have one common connection.

Love.

You are alone because you love too much.

You are alone because you care too much.

You are alone because you give too much.

You are alone because you suffer too much.

You are alone because you sorrow too much.

You are alone because you feel too much.

You are alone because you choose to give time too much.

You are now alone simply because you love.

This isn’t about a relationship, friendship, bonds, or alliances.

This is about leaving this circle of feeling lonely.

Alone.
