Being Alone

Member since 2003 · Posted 19 Jun 2005 · 3 comments

Being alone is a scary place, No one wants to be. You have no control over it, And God, it's happening to me. I sit here in the dark, And let the tears fall down, Waiting for the time, When someone special will come around. And so while I wait, My heart continues to break, For time goes by; And suddenly years fly. And still; I'm waiting.

I was trying to figure out the rhyme scheme. I see in the first two stanzas you rhyme lines 2 and 4. Then a five line 5th stanza with a rhyme in lines 3 and 4.

was this the plan?

There is a certain lack of the truly poetic here, no real rhyme, rhythm or elegant use of language, if you take the line breaks out it is just a simple statement.

It would be better without the first verse.
