LONELINESS

Only the lonely in truth yet to find
Will take up a lover to get peace of mind
The want to be needed, loved and desired
To feel the blood rushing
Like a gun that's been fired

To hang in the shadows
On nights clear as day
To beckon a stranger
Who's passing your way
Could this be the one?
That you've waited for
Then courage deserts you
And you run for the door

Is it better to live
All alone with your pain
Or be like the others
A part of the game
What ever your reasons
Be they many or few
If you stand in the shadows
Then who CAN see you

Is it only the lonely
Who suffer alone
No lover to turn
Their house to a home
Is their some kind of potion
That nobody See's
Loneliness hurts
But it's not a disease.

Wonderful poem. Really wonderful. And I've liked so much.
The theme that you've chosen is so close to me...
Loneliness is not a disease - right. But not always and not all it will hurts.

There is nothing better than reading poems truly out of your heart! You are truly gifted. Be patient, true love is on the way...you have so much to give.

'Is it better to live
All alone with your pain
Or be like the others

I agree with you here!
Lonliness may not be a disease,
But, it surely is a curse!
Believe me,
Its not funny,
to be alone...

Beautiful! I love this one! True, loneliness is one of those things that is all consuming, and if you aren't careful it might consume you...yes, when one is lonely, you don't want others to see it...
