Anonymous Solitude

In the depths of my solitude, I find no peace,

With thoughts of love and memories yonder.

For in my heart, a flame of love once burned,

But now she's gone, distant and out of sight.

As I sit here daily alone, my heart is breaking,

For in my foolishness, I willingly let her go.

The lingering pain and agony never subsided,

For this state of perturbation is mine alone.

I'm a deserving victim of my self-discontent,

Bearing the burden of my rueful lonliness.

Wallowing in a state of anonymous solitude,

A man of endless woe with no hope of a cure.

My heart still aches, with every passing day,

Endlessly wandering in dark shadows alone,

Awaiting the last memory of her love to die.
