Loneliness

A few thoughts for the evening.

My bed is still warm,

it's as if you never left.

But now your gone, 

and, loneliness is creeping in.

Like the night does to day.

It's slow and encompassing.

You left like the sun sets,

leaving me in the dark.

What is it that scares me about loneliness?

It’s as irrational as fear of the night sky.

The feeling of loneliness can create such beauty,

through the minds of those who experience it.

I thought you were the cure to my loneliness,

but as the moon is still visible during the day,

the night,

it never truly leaves us.

Why am I scared of the dark,

when it holds such beauty?

Why do I tremble,

when I find myself alone?

I don’t want to be fearless,

Give me the strength to endure the nights.

Because loneliness may fill me with dread,

but,

if not for the absence of the sun how would we see the stars?

How else can you endure the nights without loneliness?

[Baby Ricochet]

First stanza third line should be "you're." Loneliness isn't the same as solitude. Good poem

[Parimal Pratyush]

Yeah! So true, so true. But I feel, we only feel like that, when we stop trying. We feel lonely and scared in the dark, because we do not care to make an effort and light up our vicinity ourselves. We bottleneck the other opportunities, other people and blame ourselves or our life to make us suffer like the way so beautifully described hear. And so correct to say that we don't need be fearless, but we sure need strength, just enough to make it through.
Thank you.

Excellent work and one of the best poetry I ever read

[Wórdsmíth]

Oh, it`s sad to hear when someone reverberates the sounds of hearts around the room in disguise of painful words. Love`s looked like a "memory" that gets faded up with time but, its "impact" never leave us alone because, if the love looked like a memory then it`s, of course, having the power of make you lost behind the fog of darkness with forsaken thoughts that carry "lonesomeness" all the time. You`ve put very deep thoughts of your life in this poem. Nice imagery.
