Alone

Alone

Alone is where the heart is,
And harder is the night,
Within this eve of darkness,
Ice cold the Fahrenheit.

Alone is where the heart is,
It’s fading staving beat,
A Β solemn single soul,
A life that’s incomplete.

Alone is where the heart is,
And empty is the hand,
No other there for taking,
For my soul is truly damned.

Alone is where the heart is,
And alone is where it stays,
For my soul will walk forever,
In this darkness of malaise.

A brilliant definition of how loneliness can take hold of every part of our lives, starting with the heart ? although sad, a very good read xx

"A [solum] solemn single soul," ... I believe you may have meant "solemn" here, Lucy, as in somber or sad.

Alone is where the heart is,
And alone is where it stays,
For my soul will walk forever,
In this darkness of malaise.

Brilliant rhyming combo with "stays" and "malaise" in the above stanza.
Solitude every now and again is a good thing. But loneliness can be soul crushing.
Excellent ink...
