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

      • 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.

        • 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
