John's original poems

<< May 2008 | poems index | clock poem | July 2008 >>
ALONE(with my grandfather clocks)  (June 2008)
I am alone and think I am going to die soon.
Maybe it's a good thing.
Somebody once told me that I would die a lonely old man.
Maybe it's a good thing.
Alone,on my own,I sit and think of how things could have been.
What for?
Dreams are all I have now in the void of my own making.
I'm not a failure am I?
If not,what happened?
Why am I still alone?
It's not that I cannot love love,
it seems that love cannot love me.
I think people have pity and feel for me,
but that is not enough.
Will somebody love me please?
There's not much time left.
