Lonely

There is no loneliness worse than not being loved for who you are...


Poem Artwork

Have you ever been lonely?
Felt that still deep well of pain?
The real lonely…..
Not just the absence of friends

Lonely is a child…..
Lifting her arms for a hug
That no one sees
Or wants….

Lonely is a girl
Who has never known acceptance…
And sees only shuttered faces
Reflected in her seeking eyes…

Lonely is a woman
No one sees
Or cares to know..
Always found wanting…


Lonely is a deep abiding ache
A desert..
Where the sound of her weeping
Is never heard


A wasteland of loss
Where truth is dishonoured
And love is a contract
With terms and conditions


Lonely is a woman
Who is not seen
Or heard
Whose words fall silently
Like tears…


Lonely is lost
With no safe harbour
No place anywhere
To call home

Do you know lonely?
I do…..
It is the savage beating
No one sees

The rape of body and psyche
That scars the soul
Throbbing unseen
Like an unwelcome friend
In the cold dark hours of the night


It is the pain of a terror...
No one understands
The reaching for a loving hand
But there's no one there..

That's real lonely…

And it is the reason many of us, as adults, write.

I felt that.

I see loneliness as a preparation for times when valuing the presence of another human being is crucial. There's always hope.

You have certainly gone for the jugular with this one Candida. Overpowering passions here and so well expressed the words seem to reach out from the page.

Hi Candida,
This very discriptive writing was very well written. Only the lonely knows the pain of this lifestyle!
