Poem 89 – Solitude

Lonely-Man-Sitting-Night-Street

It is over tea that we contact

You are focused

You want me to try

Not the tea, us!

 

What have you to offer?

I ask having offered so long.

You look blankly, then smirk.

You have? All efforts negated.

 

My heart is crushed

You don’t see the me

Rather I am disposable

Worthless rubbish discarded.

 

I sit on the street before your house

I hear you party, laugh, love,

Your world shut from me

Solitude can be the loneliest place.

    So sad. She’s not worth it. The smirk did it for me.

  3. The feeling of rejection, your words ache

  4. Sad but very moving. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

  5. Feelings I so relate to. You express them beautifully.

    So touching but expressed so beautifully especially the first part with tea, captured me. Thank you Sir, love, nia

  7. the price for freedom is not very much when you sit back and analyse what price was paid. I don’t think that makes sense, I make no sense right now – sorry Michael.
