"Loneliness, My Third Poem"
My third poem
“Loneliness”
who can define loneliness?
and the many ways to experience it?
when one is lonely,
what’s the reason?
is it because a loved one has gone?
or because they’ve left?
is it self pity?
when alone, when thoughts crowd in,
is that what it is?
do I know loneliness?
is this poem a farce?
I think I know loneliness,
but cannot be sure,
I’ve experienced it in my heart,
I just pray to God,
that I never know,
loneliness from life.
