Sometimes it's good to be alone <br />View life all on your own <br />Ponder where the future lies <br />And wonder how yet times flies <br /> <br />How different this is from lonely <br />Losing a seemingly one and only <br />How so clear the future ahead <br />Black and blank- and dead <br /> <br />Wipe the smile and put a grin <br />Fright at the sound of the dropp of a pin <br />Try and laugh at someone's talk <br />And end up a laughing-stock <br /> <br />You feel you are to blame <br />'Right the wrong if I could time tame' <br />You are now enveloped in guilt <br />Shut in a prison you built <br /> <br />Let out your grief <br />But make it brief <br />Let out your feelings in a cry <br />Spill the tears till the ducts are dry <br /> <br />Row your boat in the wilderness of sorrow <br />Take solace in resurrection and Tomorrow <br />For a Friend you had from birth <br />Before the one you lost to death<br /><br />Kolabomi Adeko<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-a-loved-one-dies/
