Alone

Published by at 8:14 am under Break Up Poems

Coming home to a welcome of empty chairs

dark grey walls blast out a silence

as a reminder of a joy that once was

A man alone, deserted in a multitude of cries,

an empty bowl in the midst of a feast

Playing to an audience of a thousand memories

drawing vain comfort from imagined applause

an emotional performance worthy of high award

painfully his prize, remains a passing fantasy

A young man dies, buried deep in mother earth

no funeral, no flowers, no friends, no sympathy

just alone.

George W Knox

    That’s not fair. I was not ready to cry. Tears are still flowing from these once hardened eyes.
