Poetry: Loneliness

by Melita K Ferrell

Created on: November 12, 2007

Alone...
Dig a hole and bury me inside. Make it dark so I can hide. Drench the dirt with my tears. Lock me away for years. So I don't have to face the unknown. Reality has hit and I'm alone. Again.
There was a time when he made me smile. He held me tight, he stayed for a while. But like the rest, he disappointed me. And with him, it got so lonely. I cried in my pillow. Til I finally let him go. But now I'm alone. To face this unknown.
There was time when money wasn't an issue. But these days, it's all I run into. Not enough, just to get by. It breaks me, when I try. I just want to live the fullest life. But it's so hard to even get it right. Mostly I get upset. Then I'm depressed.
There was a time when there was always someone to cling to. But now I'm free to just fail into doom. I've wanted to succeed. But I guess it's not in me. I'm just a fool. So...Will you please?
Dig a hole and bury me inside. Make it dark so I can hide. Drench the dirt with my tears. Lock me away for years. So I don't have to face the unknown. Reality has hit and I'm alone. Again.
Tomorrow I'll feel differently. But for now, just let me be.
