The Pains Of Loneliness Poem by louis rams

The pains are so deep that they’ve become rooted in me
Like a bottomless pit with no ending
Coming straight up without bending.
No relief do I see in sight, I try to make changes
But I fail in my plight.
The pains of loneliness are hard to bare
When you have no one with these to share.

Why does happiness turn and bear away?
Why can’t with me - it stay?
What have I done that this burden I must bare?
Why can’t I escape it?
I’ve had my fair share.!

My heart is heavy and about to burst
The only relief are the tears that flow from my eyes.
But how much am I supposed to cry?
I’m like an Easter bunny, savory and tempting
On the top, but hollow on the inside.

Like a ring of solid gold, but hollow
In the middle, and until it is filled
With a finger from a loving hand
It has no value that we can understand.

The pains of loneliness have followed me
For a very long time, and I’m ready to draw the line.
This being said: I will go on my way
And this loneliness will no longer stay.
