Faces Of Loneliness Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

In a crowded bar room
Sitting in a dark corner
A lonely man drinks his whiskey
Smoke swirled around him
As he puffs on the cigarette he's smoking
The music is playing loudly
But he is oblivious to the noise inside the bar
He is lost in his own thoughts
Drowning his misery
In the glass of alcohol in his hands

In a deserted street
A lone figure stands under the street lamp
His frame casting a shadow behind the post
In a lonely night like this
When everyone is asleep in their homes
He is outside spending the night alone
With only the lights and the stars for company

At home sitting in her bed
A young girl cannot sleep
The hour is ticking by as she tries to shut her eyes
The night has a way of haunting her thoughts
Loneliness creeps into her heart
When night comes to shade her with its darkness

The faces of loneliness can be seen
When the day is gone with the setting sun
When the night appears cloak in blackness
When one is alone in the deep hour of the night
When memories haunt you with their ghost
