Left In My Lonely Poem by Susan Lacovara

Left In My Lonely

Rating: 4.3


You should have left me there
in my lonely
For I barely noticed I was alone
until you disrupted my days
and interrupted my fantasies
with big pockets full of platinum promises

Now, like an old woman
who forgets to turn her calendar page,
every day is longer than twenty four hours
and minutes feel like an eternity
I forget to eat, for nothing taste sweet
I dismiss brushing my hair
for it no longer
to brush against your face

What of this place
where only the furnace firing
provides artificial warmth

You should have left me there
in my lonely
unaware of what I was missing
Dreaming only of the romance
printed in my dusty books
And unaware of the loving looks
I miss, now,
in my lonely

'For I barely noticed I was alone until you disrupted my days and interrupted my fantasies' - Oh my friend Susan, these lines are so disheartening and poignant! Cheer up, my friend, better days lie ahead! May you have the desired warmth more from natural intimacy than from the 'firing furnace'!

Such a powerful poem Susan about lost love. This is portrayed well. We don't know what we don't have but once we have had a taste of it that's when we long to have it again especially that it tasted so good. This is definitely going to my favorite list. I like your style of writing.

Loneliness and old age both are well perceived and expressed in this wonderful poem. Dusty book keeps printed words as memory for future and still in loneliness we read these words. An amazing poem is wisely penned and shared.10
