On a night such as this...
I'd like to be
curled up in an entertaining book.
Or scanning a dictionary
to improve my lame vocabulary.
Snuggling with my love
in his warm embrace.
I should be laughing.
Having hot, wonderful,
passionate sex.
...I should be happy.

Or at least,...I'd like to be.
But I am not.

On this night,
I'm alone.
And as i used to crave and hold
to my solitude...
Love tends to change that feeling.
Now I stare at these walls
and glance through this empty space
with a sense of longing.
I know where that happiness
has gone to. ...Far away
and long awaiting.

I can't get George Thorogood
out of my head with,
"I drink alone..."
Though I can't drink;
not preferrably alone.

As I fade into my mind,
I cant help but hope
someday I'll write enough
to get my words back.
I'll be smarter then a
damn 6th grader.
I'll provide for my
unborn baby.

I stare at the wall,
his pictures my only company...
my closest connection
with my love.
3+ years til we're together
again...

On a night such as this
I succumb to sleep
for in my dreams my
childish sorrows may
have a brake.

..."I drink alone"...

I have read some of your other works, in particular "Embrace to the heartache" in order to try and understand what you must be going through, on occasions of significance you must feel alone, as a matter of fact on occasions of in-significance you must feel.. most alone, for those are the times when you're most in thought, i wish for you post haste in 'release date', so that you may 'feel'...once again.

ya know, usually when i'm home, after a hard night at work, enjoying my beer, a buzzkill would piss me off. but this stirs my emotions in a way that i can't help but feel the truth in the course of things. the proof that i'm not the only one "drinking alone". cheers to better times (that better be ginger ale missy)

Solitude...I know it, I can't stand silence. It's so fucking loud. That's what this felt like, your poem; the loudest silence ever. I hope he's smart enough to long for you the same way. Exquisitely written.

Is your significant other in the Army or something? I can relate to this. Being cut off from our loved ones can really make you second guess things. Well worded, well captured.

ouch... well, I hope you get to see them again soon. Thanks for the bump, too :) Hang tough, things will straighten themselves out eventually. In the meantime, post something angry. That always works for me.
