Only The Lonely.

Goldfinch60



Only the lonely

As I sit here eating my dinner

I look across the table

At the empty space

Where my lover sat.


Only the lonely

As the thought comes,

Comes into my mind

As I remember

Those meals we shared.

 

Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight

Such sadness comes over me

As I see her presence

All around me

But she’s not there.


Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right

Where my lover was with me

Before being taken,

Taken from me

To become a star.

 

There goes my baby

There goes my heart

As I look up into the night

Seeing her looking down,

Looking down on me.



They're gone forever
So far apart

So far apart from me,

But I will be with her

One day it will be fine.

 

But only the lonely
Know why I cry

As I sit here alone

Wishing she was with me

Our love shining together.


Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through

Know how I feel,

Left alone,

Until we meet again.

Only the lonely…

  • Comment from author about the poem: I put a Flying Pickets song on here a couple of days ago. I decided to listen to them on the disc I have, this song was on it and it meant so much that I felt I needed to write something and here is that combination of Roy Orbison's song and my words.

      ... this is such an awesomely emotionally charged page my golden friend .. I shouldn't wonder if somewhere this very evening an electric storm lights up the sky in a dramatic downpouring demonstration of reciprocated love .............. Neville

      • Goldfinch60

      • Doggerel Dave

        Faced with that kind of ongoing anguish, words from me seem inadequate, Andy - Sorry.

        • Goldfinch60

          No apology necessary Dave, thank you for your thoughts.

          I too know your loneliness, but what keeps me positive is feeling how lucky I was to have had her in my life to begin with. Smile, and she smiles with you. Great emotional write Andy.

          • Goldfinch60

            So very true AP, she is still with me and always will be.

          • L. B. Mek

            so these lyrics inspired the spine to your worded anguish, Andy
            caught you off-guard, maybe
            in that realm where a few good days lined-up in a row, for a change
            and you felt the trickles of whimsy, awaken from within, too easily
            then back - without a parachute
            you were swirling in that cyclone pain of remembrance
            and wilting, in the face of unrequited yearning
            still, my friend you've been here before
            so when those gushing tears stopped forming streams
            and dwindled to mere droplet puddles, once more
            you chose: to look ahead and bravely smiled
            'I got this! my beloved...' you whispered, to that part of Joyce
            pulsing within each gifted breath, you learned to treasure
            eventually, when your trembling fingers - calmed
            and your stoic British resolve, resumed
            eyesight - blinked dry, feet - back-up and sturdy
            stubbornly facing, that semblance of reality
            you've learnt to accept, willingly
            grateful steps - moved, to replenish your spirit
            with a few sips of a sobering - stiff drink
            and finally sat back down, before a blank screen
            let your fingers - dance: to the cadence
            of that poetic genius, you choose to share with us...
            'behold: ye all
            his worded testimony
            to fruits, that blossom
            from a nurtured love's: undying fortitude
            of unflinching, loyalty!'

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you so much for your wonderful words Mek, very much appreciated.

              Andy
