Lonely Man Poem by Fadwa Saidani

Lonely man who spends the night alone
looking for an escape, a safe refuge
been out of society,
rejected, blamed,
always feeling ashamed but,
his feelings were ever shown


tried to keep himself strong
thought that he could undo his sins
but all he needed is that lost part
that part who left him soulless, lifeless
and tore him apart
till he became like a stone


brought into this dark world
tried to figure out a way to live
barely survived
waited too long but she never arrived
she was full of doubt, regret, weakness, coldness
couldn't step out of her safe cage
decided to stay on her own


lonely man who kept waiting
waiting for her to come and bright
his dark soul
she never came
refused to be part of the game
all they had shared was
a lost memory, an extinct flame..
