It’s been a busy day, <br />Working, laughing with friends, <br />Keeping the mind occupied <br />And the heart satisfied with nonsense. <br />And you return back to your room, <br />Once again tired. <br />You have a bath, <br />You read a magazine, <br />You go to bed.. <br />And during the last ten minutes of the day, <br />Just before you fall asleep, <br />The mind searches for the best memory <br />And realises that it’s alone. <br />Loneliness attacks this time of the day, <br />When your defence is down, <br />No more people to satisfy your need for company, <br />Your smile already rests on the pillow. <br />And it’s at this time of the day <br />That you realise that you’ll never be complete <br />Unless you find someone to care <br />And tears return from last night’s hang over <br />And you end up staying awake even longer <br />Thinking about love <br />as if Cupid will remember you any day now. <br />You prolong your suffering until you fall asleep, <br />crying for love, <br />searching for the strength to go on, <br />wishing that your soul mate is out there <br />waiting for you..<br /><br />Ivy Christou<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loneliness-7/
