Castaway

I speak from a heart grown weak and old,
The suns heat doesn't reach and so it is cold,
A story unending or so it is told,
A tale of sadness, madness, and woe,
Knowing not from whence I came,
No, Or now where I will go,
Only understanding I am utterly alone...,

And alone it appears I'll continue to be,
Seems my entire existence there's been only me,
To answer my queries,
To laugh at my jokes,
To share my opinions,
My dreams and my hopes,

A message in a bottle,
Filled with old memories,
Perhaps someone will read,
Tossed with a splash in the vast open sea...,
"Run afoul, Run aground, my vessel's a wreck,
S.O.S. mayday, A call of distress,
One soul survivor, Only me left.",
What happens next is anyone's guess,
How did I get myself into this mess?,
While no man's an island I'm doing my best...

Others of you I'm sure feel it too,
I'm lost and alone in this life sometimes...

A very good description of a very lonely life for some of us who are single. On the other hand there are times when being alone in a quiet place I am thankful for. When illness hits, though, or major surgery which I just had to have a mate on the boat with me would be very welcome. blues hug sad flower

Thank you Kathy...Loneliness is unavoidable sometimes I guess. I do hope all went well with your surgery? bouquet

Thank you greatly for sharing this poem.
In the middle of the night when I suddenly wake up I feel so lonely and terrified.
Due to my work I am always in the crowd
..and feel so lost and alone..
Thank you once again.
