A GLIMMER

Author: Unknown

Loneliness was my companion
Agreeable pals we were yesterday
Recently someone walked in my life
Rescued! That was my first impression
Yet he only lasted a day
Moments actually: leaving wound that needed no knife
Only he never understand what he took
Once was enough. My world he shook.
Sealing a further bond with my Lonely friend
Even I don't understand what really happened.

Interesting rhyme scheme. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all...

Hi, kle76am,
Sometimes, A GLIMMER is all we get to help us understand what we have given and what, if anything, we have gained. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for those word Freeatlast and GNJ I have come to the conclusion that a glimmer either makes one smarter or bitter. I have choosen the former.

Sometimes a glimmer brings a lot of hope to the hopeless. Half a loaf is better than no bread.

A glimmer is a gift. So many never seem to even see or recognize it. He sounds like one heck of a fellow and how they can rock our souls. Great write!

Hi kle....I spent 6 years alone and was reasonable content...
then after three weeks with a special man, I was left depressed like never before....now I feel I am in company, and I have to prove I am not...though is it him my friend or Niah my Great Dane I miss....both left me at the same time...
that's my Glimmer and I'd rather to have and lost...
thanks for the thought provoking idea....Niah's mum
