L:
Lately i have been feeling like I am not existent even when I am around a group of people
Lately i have been feeling like my sadness drags my eyes down and forces me to sleep
Lately i have been feeling like i am no longer myself I am the absolute worst part of me
O:
Occasionally I will go to the bathroom and lay on the floor and try to remember the way your voice sounded in the morning
Occasionally I will hear your favorite song and think of you
Occasionally I remember the way you used to love me and everything that we had and I feel okay again
N:
Not knowing the new memories you now make kills the slightest amount of happiness that I could ever have
Not knowing what your cologne is at the moment makes me want to fill my house with your old cologne
Not knowing who you text in the morning now makes me want to text you to make sure its me
E:
Every part of me loves you and I pray that I never stop
Every part of me begs for you and the way your thumb used to run against my hand
Every atom in my body misses you. I am not complete without you.
L:
Loving you felt like I was unstoppable
Loving you felt like I was finally home from a trip I didn’t even want to go to
Loving you was the absolute best thing I could have ever done for myself
Y:
You will never know what my new perfume is called
You will never know how I do my hair now
You will never know who I call when i’m in trouble
Lonely. Lonely accompanies me wherever I go and never leaves me. Lonely is what wakes me up every morning. Lonely is what I cry to at night when I can’t go to bed. Lonely is what I wish you could be.

This hits hard, and easily relates. Good job. Loved it.
thank you so much!
WELCOME ANDREA ~ Thanks for a very beautiful ~ yet nostalgic first Acrostic Poem. I am old enough to experience the angst and the agony when a once perfect and loving relationship breaks down, MEN usually say "Better to have Loved and Lost ~ than never to have Loved at all" However I know (from the experience of my Female Friends) that it is much much harder for a lady to overcome the EFFECTS and the LONELINESS ! Thinking of you ~ Praying for you Hugs BRIAN (UK)
thank you!
This is glorious, really deep.
thank you!
I get lonely only sometimes. because I have friends( spirits) in my head. they are always their when I need them. people call me crazy. but I don't care what they like or dislike. I am content.
Andrea, this is a great poem. I like the way you structured it, relating to each of the letters of "lonely".
"Every atom in my body misses you", that's a lot a lot of missing going on here. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
