Alone I Grow Cold

My life distorted

Within the blink of an eye

Terrified, humiliated

And still asking why.

Love

I cherished but set free

Hoping, begging

It will return to me.

Joy

Brought laughter

That I no longer hold

So sad, so empty

Alone, I grow old.

Loved the title and the conflict of the emotions it holds. Can't live with em and can't live without them... direct and to the point. I liked this

such a sad write, but nicely expressed

[Coyote Poetry]

Many options for title in this poem. A lot of strong statements. A sad poem with description of love lost and needing to be return. The poem is sad and beautiful. When we look at our life. We learn. We need someone to walk with us toward the end. Thank you for the excellent poem.
