"To Die Alone"


 


Writing this poem today


A labor of love to you


Not to perfection


But for pure satisfaction


Away from conflict


Away from hurt


Away from convicting the self


Within a dream


Build upon hope


Filled with lies


To find a way


To stop the inevitable


Sinking down


Even further more


Until


Pain takes its toll


To die


Alone

Moving! This poem sounds like release...isn't it remarkable to have the facility we have to write our sorrows and cares and give them a voice?

Guess I read with my rose-colored glasses. I thought the end turned upward, and the pain died alone and left you alive and well.

Reminds me of my poem, "Poets Live Alone."
It seems so.
My son keeps me going, and he will see me off.
Glad you are OK.

Tinka, this cuts deep and the words here will linger. You have a way or taking what is in your heart and mincing no words.
P.S. And I am glad you are healthy!

A pleasant soul like you will never be alone, not even in death, Tinka. But a good vent, anyway:) :)

Grim Reaper? I'd like to think that, when my number comes up, there will be an angel to take my hand. Great stuff, Tinka.
